This was fun last time, leggo again

I'll start with: libertarians have solid takes ~40-50% of the time and many of them just need to be pushed a step further in their thinking to turn against capitalist oppression along with state oppression. The libright-to-leftist pipeline is stronger than most seem to think it is.

    We talk about radicalizing libs but with half the posts on the front page praising Maduro, Stalin and the DPRK we're more likely to scary them off lmao

      Yeah. When I was much more liberal, I used to come to the subreddit, and then abruptly leave whenever I saw something like that.

        perhaps this is an unpopular opinion: outside of fighting fascism, Stalin sucked

      Unpopular opinion: I don’t come here to convince any of you libs, and I couldn’t care less about the political landscape of the US or trying to change it with an irrelevant message board.

        We should probably unironically support the Maduro regime, but there needs to be more room for criticism of socialist leaders.

          I'll admit to being very ignorant on Maduro. Outside of being anti-American imperialism what else is there to support about him?

            Well being not too enough to make the U.S want to overthrow him so bad. But again the reason the U.S like to overthrow regimes that differ in the sloghtest from what the U.S want them to be is because they just can overthrow them. They get very pissed when they can't regime change a dissdent country lol

        imagine what the average white American thinks about

        I recommend not to use this as a scale of what opinions to hold or how to think.
