Just a wee bit of fun I came up with searching for discourse.

    People should listen to opinions other than the one they agree with. It doesn't mean they have to change their mind, they might find it is not persuasive enough to convince them. But if it is, they have to allow themselves to become convinced, if they are to be honest.

      Chud opinions always invariably circle back to thoughtless racism or antisemitism and this is somehow sufficiently persuasive to be permanently thought-terminating for a third of the population. Liberal opinions always boil down to classism or imperialism when push comes to shove. Perhaps it's time to stop caring about opinions and start dealing in facts.

      The issue is that most liberals, when faced with objective reality, still refuse to accept facts and double down on their bullshit. Same as chuds (who are also liberals)

        Everyone, in general. In this particular case, the people you're dunking on are the people not listening, so I'm preaching to them.

      I think the majority or at least plurality of us are members here for that very reason. The archetypal hexbear poster was a bernie lib who found the chapo sub at some point and argued with principled anti-imperialists until they were convinced that so-called America is the great satan.
