Maybe once they listen to every season of blowback.

One good use of this place is to figure out how to pipeline people left. For a lot of folks, this is getting from "I'm a leftist who supports every revolution but the ones that succeed" to some level of critical support for AES states, or at least a healthy skepticism of Western narratives around them.

Identifying media that's lib-friendly enough to not get immediately rejected is huge. Blowback is a great example, as is Citations Needed (though they don't touch too much on AES states). This is a lot more useful than dropping links to even well-sourced (but overtly leftist) stuff like Redsails.

Parenti uses this strategy all the time -- he uses NYT cites or quotes anti-communist politicians so he can say "if even these sources are saying it, how can you call it propaganda?"
