Arguing with people online is -- with all due respect -- a complete waste of time if your goal is to change the world. Ignore the people who have dumb opinions. It isn't as though if you win 500 arguments Elon Musk donates all his money to Socialism. Go join a tenant's union or a mutual aid society. Go build the alternative world that doesn't transfer all our money upward. (Also, though, if you do this long enough there will likely be a revolution. But that part comes after you feed and shelter enough people that it begins to become a threat to capital. It's downstream. Either way, don't bother trying to persuade strangers on the internet,) permalink fedilink source parent
