I spend at least a little of every day trying to do this. I don’t think I’ve radicalized a single person. Some people are there, some people aren’t. For those who aren’t, it seems like nothing but the Puyi treatment will change their minds.

I noticed a few friends radicalizing after George Floyd. Some liberals I know already seem pretty angry about Biden. I’ve been doing all I can to push them in the right direction, but it’s hard to convince people they’re wrong when their being rich depends on them being wrong.

Also, is there a part of the USA where politics doesn’t always suck? I live in a bourgeois backwater and it seems almost impossible to do anything interesting here. We’re organizing and we’re trying but it feels like climbing Everest barefoot at the moment.

Plus I feel like workers don’t really use Facebook. Or if they do, they’re terrified of expressing their political views there. On the other hand, Facebook is overrun by landlords and small business owners.
