    I've had surprisingly good reception on that sub with literal Marx quotes, I think there might be some potential for radicalization for people who stare into the contradictions of capital for fun but haven't internalized being bourgeoise

        like many reddit subcultures they’re rabidly imperialist, sinophobic, racist, ableist

        While it's tempting to try and move people on every issue all at once, most people change their opinions one step at a time. The first step to getting people on board with ten leftist ideas is to get them on board with one.

            It's definitely helpful to have an idea of the sub's culture before diving in, especially if we're trying to persuade people of anything.

        You have to explain imperialism to them in terms of how the same hedge fund managers they are struggling against benefit from it and how they primarily do not.

        Maybe post some more of his shitposty dunks, I think they would fit the vibe there just like they did in the Chapo sub

      heads up they and their mods are highly anti-chinese and will purge anyone who even remotely seems like they have anything but an anti-sino worldview

        That still gives you plenty of room to bait the hook, but that is a good warning
