Say what you will about this extremely problematic community but some of them are figuring some things out.
Here's the song which is a mostly accurate critique of our neoliberal economy
He's wrong about how much of the national debt is owed to China. It is mostly owed to Americans.

Even before the GME thing, people there were more receptive to explicitly Marxist class analysis than they were on any mainstream political sub.
lol nah
I've tried, the answer is nah.
Yeah the "let's try radicalise r/WSB" is by far the most cringe take this site has had. It's a sub filled with racists, ableists and sexists. Just look at this post. So much racism
Ah yes, truly it is impossible to radicalize people who are racist or sexist or ableist and for them to grow past it, only the purest most noble souls may swear the holy oath and join our Chapo Dot Chat revolution
There are some sound arguments against it but this isn't one of them
Way to miss the point
Your point was that they're racist, sexist, and ableist, and thus will not convert to socialism, no?
My point is that people who held bad attitudes or engaged in bad behaviors in the past can change - not everyone who says this kinda shit is ready to jump up and join the KKK, for a lot of these people it's just a casual edgelord identifier. Obviously it doesn't make that okay, but those folks can still be radicalized, and a space where people stare into the contradictions of capitalism as a hobby are ripe for it.
