like, how do you really approach the average american and just like, empathetically convey that they need to raze this fucking barn

i mean especially the groups out there who historically had some level of buy-in to the system and are in denial about their exclusion - like what is the metaphorical eye-piece nada can force onto their eyes to see the basic truth: we gonna have to do something unpleasant to change this sitch

    Get them into an organization, politically educate them, and let them observe the outcomes of their attempts to take action against the system. Make them be honest and critical about what is accomplished. Basically, I think the major contributors are inexperience, unfamiliarity with history and theory, and not testing their ideas honestly (they are idealistic).

      Takes very long, but it might be the only reliable way. Plus comes with the risk of making people completely give up

        Yeah it's a lot of work but if done right it can really snowball (an irg of 15 can do a ton more than an org of 3). And giving up can even be a better outcome than funneling energy into bourgeois electoralism. They'll have stopped doing a negative thing and might still be leverages to do political education.
