We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.

    Oh no! How will I know what right wingers think? That would mean I need to open a newspaper! Or turn on a television! Or spend an evening with my mother in law’s new boyfriend!

    Fuck off with your echo chamber bullshit.

    I know what they want. They want to hurt me and mine. And I’m not going to roll over.

      So you don’t believe us all being in echo chambers is going to make the situation worse?

      Do you believe that you can’t get any right wingers to turn left wing? What about vice versa?

      I couldn’t give a fuck what they think you pleb, I am interesting in trying to get people to open their eyes and leave the right and come join us on the left.

      Many of those people have been lied to, just as much as we have and I believe given the opportunity we would be able to reason people out of their mindsets to find a common enemy which is elites.

      Edit: There is a YouTuber who makes left leaning content and he has said on numerous videos how he was drawn into the alt-right pipeline and he was smart enough to learn that wasn’t right and that they’re not spreading truth. He’s called JimmyTheGiant. If he is able to be taken from the right to the left then that means other people are and they’re only going to make that leap if we talk with them. Sure some of them are lost causes, but I want to focus on the people who we can reach.

      Unless you just want to hang around here and we can all wank each other off a how much more superior we are because of our beliefs whilst never actually increasing our numbers because nobody wants to interact with the perceived other side.

      Funny how you can now what all republicans want, but I’m sure you would take issue if they said all leftists want the exact same thing.

        I love how the comment degenerates into madness slowly like a bad copy pasta.
