You all know this but in case you don't: when engaging with people, build them up and let them do the tearing down.
Take it from a hetero cis omnivorous male (a guy often confused for a chud) who now loves his gay, transgendered, queer brothers and sisters of all colors and nations, and looks forward to locking arms with all of them in the future.
Don't preach - suggest.
Listen. Listen. Listen.
Hit people with pillows, not bricks.
If someone isn't receptive, don't waste your time.
If you actually start engaging, make it personal. I tell people about my invalid father moving in with me all the time, and in my particular situation there are and were no options afforded to us via rugged, individual capitalism. Its either this or he dies on the street with Stage 4 prostate cancer.
The system is broken and we need to forge a way to allow our elders to die with dignity.
You have a story too. Tell it.
If you get frustrated go over to r/politics and dunk on liberal galaxy-brains.
Done.
Edited to add: love you all. Sometimes its not easy to post about my asshole dad living here. Even in just passing. And yes I've been drinking (and some other things). It feels good to know you're all here. I hope you know I'm here for you. Thats why this is the best community. DGAF what your condition is, we need you.
Fuck yes. 07 to the Posters Irregular being recognized as an official unit.

this is a fantastic community idea and already has so many great posts
Good take.
Don't make us tap the Sankara quote about it being our job to educate people.
I’ve been sending people this way for a while now, though I’m disappointed my dirtbag watermark didn’t make the list :(
I'll admit that I've been kind of underwhelmed by how the admins have dealt with neurodivergence and neurological related ableism in the past. Here's hoping we continue to improve going forward.
Honestly a much better idea for a subcommunity than the frigging "Dengist safe space" WSB subcommunity.
That phrase is the biggest "turn back now or become a revisionist" red flag you could possibly have put in the description. If it was a bit meant to get people to wake the fuck up and stop fantasizing about doing stock market trader entryism, it's a good bit.
