    They don’t know solidarity! We have to teach them! That’s the point! They are stupid and uneducated wage slaves who have been duped by the people who are actually in control, our shared enemy. They just don’t understand that we are not their enemy. Yea, there are a percentage of them who are just vitriolic, hateful, violent individuals that the community will need to defend themselves against. That’s another topic. The vast majority of people, though, are just plain stupid, going through life day by day just trying to get by and not understanding, because they have been duped by a system purposely designed to prey on them.

    Fucking goddamn I am tired of people misunderstanding the entire point of solidarity. I’m not saying to fucking sing kumbaya with them. Yes, they cry crocodile tears and cry the victim. Yet they blame it on the wrong person because they have been intentionally deluded into doing so. Be mad, get in their face and oppose their views. I’m not saying just sit and take it lying down. Just don’t fucking attack them as a person; that isn’t going to do anything except make them defensive. Oppose the ideology and educate them on how they are wrong. Expose the mistake and force them to confront it. Point your anger at the real fucking enemy.

    No, it won’t always work. It takes concentrated effort and repeated exposure to challenge someone’s deeply held beliefs. They haven’t been radicalized yet. We need to, as a political movement, have the strategy to capitalize on these moments where they have finally been confronted with a situation that exposes the flaws in what they have been told and do the leg work to radicalize these individuals. We all have that moment where we were radicalized against the system. They need theirs. They will never have it though if they are attacked for their mistakes instead of given the chance and tools needed to question and learn from them.

      That is probably a majority by now. They are dug in so deep into this shit, they cannot see the sun anymore.

      Just don’t fucking attack them as a person;

      I attack them as an ideology: The fascist “I am better than others” ideology they have.

      No, it won’t always work.

      I’d say it won’t wort in 90+% of those nutcases.

      If you still insist trying to teach pigs to sing or fly, I won’t stop you. That’s your waste of time. But that won’t stop me from considering you as wasting your time.
