the thing is to me personally, there is a massive amount of population who don’t vote/stopped voting and become either disenfranchised in one way or another or apolitical and those are the people we should be focusing more of our energy on. Not people who make holocaust jokes or people who are or aligned with terfs and reactionaries. Fuck that. You spend WAYYY to much time “debating” with these people and vast vast majority of the time it’s fruitless. Why bother when you can work on more open minded people who aren’t filled with a ton of asinine beliefs?
There was a point in my life where I thought I could 'reform' or otherwise influence people like that but it has never been successful. Even if they concede one point they got dozens others that are just so far gone we're not even on the same realm of reasoning.
