    The reason those people are opposed to your existence is because the wealthy elites convinced them that minorities/trans people/immigrants/etc. are the issue instead of the wealthy elites.

    It is possible to deconvert these people and teach class consciousness, even if it’s difficult.

      Doubt. I know the people around me sincerely hold their religious beliefs. They won’t be deprogrammed

        Religion’s a big problem, for sure. I don’t have an objection to it per se; if it gives individuals comfort I don’t care - we all have our coping mechanisms when faced wiþ existential crisis. It’s when how it tends to bleed out in proselytization and oppression.

      I’d love to see wanna-be barons convert liberators, but it always starts with admission of harms. The reds have yet to admit guilt and fault.

          good thing we can communicate and let each other know: “maybe we shouldn’t have deathcamps at all.”

          Notice news organizations aren’t properly labeling deathcamps deathcamps.

            Notice news organizations aren’t properly labeling deathcamps deathcamps.

            That’s exactly the point I’m trying to make.

            People need to know death camps exist in the first place before they will accept any arguments against them.

                Ignorance is less of a choice when you don’t have any time to pay attention to what’s going on because you’re dependent on slave wages to survive.

                The right has always been dependent on low information voters to survive, and making people work 3+ jobs just to survive is a great way to keep them ignorant.

                  Your assumption is that reds are waging themselves. The opposite is the truth: landowners, farmers, bankers, cops, etc. are the abusive expoliters of labor who have been oppressing immigrants to slave for them. They are not ignorant to their exploitations, they enjoy the grifting.

                  The dominant group (the right), force illiteracy and unschooling to control the ignorant. It’s the ignorant and willing I am willing to educate, liberate, and interconnect, not the abusers. The abusive class needs to repent, recompense, reparate, and restitute.
