I agree for the most part, but my experience with people is pretty weird coming from a very conservative place. I'm one of those people that still goes out and talks to conservatives IRL and doesn't hold back because I know I'm right.

I known that most of the people I talk to are probably gonna forget what I say, but discussing these things in the open and getting agreement with people on their terms (I'm talking about proletarian stuff, not culture war stuff) is good.

I've been able to draw in some crowds with discussion sometimes and even if the person I'm speaking with is a lost cause, the people around all start to question things and actually engage in productive discussion.

We are essentially that, but on a larger scale I think.
