After a year of genocide, I feel like there's no point in trying to convince these people. They are actively supporting the perpetrators of the genocide, and it's beyond Oct. 7 now -- there's no excuse for not knowing. There's a constant flow of evidence, yet these people remain purposefully ignorant. Or maybe they take pleasure in those pictures of dead babies. Take pleasure in the death of those 'barbarians' -- These people should be shamed. They shouldn't be allowed to take these evil positions without any backlash.

    Recently logged out of my Lemmy.ml account, for similar reasons. Crucially, it's important to know that ideas come from material conditions, debatelording has little impact. As Imperialism crumbles, more people will become radicalized, and it is our job to steer them properly. Don't give up, re-analyze your methods!

    Agitprop and organizing is good, debatebroing is not as useful, essentially, it isn't good propaganda usually. The dialectic is ever in motion, it's about proper application.

      Debate broing tends to get people to entrench themselves in their beliefs. Good propaganda (usually art) bypasses that by making them feel something different that they then have to come to terms with. They are far more likely to decide random internet commenter is wrong than their own feelings about something.
