Or the lib to lib pipeline as it is also known.
Seen so many people here saying they found the original sub by seeing posts on other subs that seemed different to the usual discourse (eg criticising liberals from the left) and that led to them finding cth through post history or whatever.
That's not really gonna happen now and I imagine we'll get banned pretty quick if we start posting chapo.chat in r politics.
I think radicalising libs is one of the strengths of chapo.chat as it has a pretty inclusive and humorous vibe which other left subs dont really have, plus as many people face the choice between trump and biden amongst the chaos of 2020 they are starting to realise how little power and control they have over their own lives.
Not trying to hype up the importance of this place, it's ultimately just a niche corner of extremely online weirdos but it's the best thing I've found out there.
So how we gonna get the libs in? Harry potter reading group? Deep fakes of Elizabeth warren saying chapochat has a plan for that?
One thing I want to throw out there: Try your best to just be nice to people. People are attracted to ironic humor, good snappy points, backing claims up, and a non aggressive approach.
I used to be a “sjw-hating” liberal and I could not stand seeing (what I didn’t understand to be) leftists being shitheads to people and dropping a bunch of theory and arguments that seem like extreme stances to normies. You won’t change anybody’s opinion by being a dickhead.
Use memes, inject ideas into spaces that may be more open to leftist ideas and theories, don’t be aggressive. If someone is already being a jerk, it’s cool and good to dunk on them. But if you come across an argument that’s in good faith, and you see the opportunity to change a mind, go for it and try to win them over.
Yeah I do generally try to do this but it depends heavily on my mood and how much bullshit has already been absorbed that day.
