make it make sense without disqualifying any of my core beliefs

[-] theoryenjoyer@hexbear.net 13 points 9 hours ago

The revolutionary optimistic way to look at it is as a genuine question that we can answer

If a lib asks, we answer and maybe we make a new comrade

"make it make sense in a way that doesn't trigger a defense reaction from my ideology"

[-] theoryenjoyer@hexbear.net 10 points 8 hours ago

If genuinely trying to do this seriously tho, the best approach is usually a dialectical one, you do your best to account for both their ideology and material conditions to figure out if they have the right incentives to be a comrade or not and then if they are make a good faith effort to meet them where they are to radicalize best you can.

If they're just trolling, drop a PPB and move on

Sick, revolutionary Marxism-Leninism then, we can talk theory over our preferred vices

[-] microfiche@hexbear.net 4 points 8 hours ago

To a point. This Reddit phrase is thrown around far too often for people seeking an actual answer.

[-] theoryenjoyer@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago

For sure, but the person asking isn't the only one who will see it online, still a vector to radicalize

[-] microfiche@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

Sometimes they really are the only one who sees it. Radicalization via an internet comment is greatly over exaggerated here in this echo chamber.

Not everything is a teaching moment.

[-] theoryenjoyer@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago

That's true and fair, but also if you stop looking for opportunities you stop finding them

I mostly try to radicalize in person, I don't use much social media outside of this anymore tbh, but the overall approach is the same irl or online

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago

I hate that phrase too.
