    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

          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.
