So, Facebook just made my partner the sole head of a group with more than a few thousand DemSocs in it

What steps should we take to achieve some actual radicalization among these potential recruits?

I mean, in addition to suggesting they join HexBear of course

    Post:

    • union does thing, mildly editorialized as good (negotiating for healthcare, must be good right? demsocs like healthcare!)

    • look at this cool thing China or some pink South American country is doing, without editorializing (directly saying Thing Good conflicts with the propaganda and makes people reject it; better to just give them neutral-tone evidence until the propaganda sounds wrong)

    • this progressive icon has failed us, we should ask them to do better ("we should ask them to do better" is necessary to slip this sort of news past people who believe in liberal/progressive politicians)

    • look at this up-and-coming new progressive politician (you've gotta post about liberal politicians or the demsocs are gonna catch on. But if you build up a precedent of constantly posting new figures you can at least eventually slip them some from PSL or whatever)

    • reshared memes that link to slightly more radical groups

    Don't post:

    • latest reason the US should do an imperialism (obviously? But apparently does need to be said)

    • call to liberal political action / asking people to donate or canvas for whatever progressive politician (don't invite people to do something useless)

    • obvious communist theory (you'll spook the demsocs)
