I called someone out on the groupchat for saying that if communist orgs can hand out leaflets with Lenin on them he should be able to do nazi salutes in public. He claimed Lenin killed millions and said “ever heard of the holodomor genocide”. I talked about how the famines weren’t a genocide (and how he'd actually been dead for almost a decade before they happened) and later said radlib came in, claimed Lenin oppressed all the people of the USSR (but admitted he helped Ukraine), posted this video and left

      We were talking about someone's message from a friend in a groupchat. Some random on twitter yeah sure whatever nothing you say will matter

      but the people in your actual life there are other methods that actually work

        Fair critique. It does vary more depending on the person. I would simply expect that on average people would be unreceptive unless you got a specific vibe

          Well bullying works only if there is consistent social pressure from society at large that backs you up.

          Something like the holodomor there is no point trying it. Because our positions are niche we have to work to spread them by planting seeds
