Like, in a practical sense? Do you have any stories or examples from your life?

I legit think the only way to save these people is to very carefully word socialist theory in a way that they can understand through facebook level memes. But then you have to worry about the authority figures that actually can read seeing through it. curious-marx I don't know that re-education is actually possible in this case, tbh.

    Impossible, leftist memes must have multiple paragraphs of text at minimum

    The issue is also that these people actively do not want to learn, because learning actual history means learning that they are the bad guys. I think real re-education can only take place in a Chinese-style re-education camp (depicted wonderfully in one of my favorite movies, The Last Emperor).
