    I watched Jackson’s stream yesterday for a little while. I feel you can talk to these people and they will listen to you. Liberals want us in jail and silenced.

      My conservative trump voting father, after I spend weeks discussing china with him calmly, told me yesterday he wishes the US and China would cooperate for a better world and told me he may even concede that China’s model for economic development is superior.

      I can’t push too hard, and there is no point - but you would NEVER, EVER, here a stereotypical liberal (here I mean liberal as in democrat) say anything of the sort.

        Lots of conservatives are easier to talk to than liberals. Plenty of working-class conservatives are already class conscious they just need the proper direction for their anger. Liberals think imperialism is a #representation problem that can be fixed by electing the right identity to the top of the war machine.

          So then why aren’t we putting more effort into converting these people? Why do we keep wasting our time with libs?

            Let’s be real here- 80%+ of westerners that eventually get to ML were liberals first. I would Wager that the majority of gen z people on GenZedong from the US were Bernie supporters that went more left as they got more educated when they saw the movement we had dissipate into nothing. We may see it as wasting our time with libs but way more libs will eventually become leftist than conservatives. We should be talking to all working class people of course but we should put more effort into libs and apolitical people than these outright bigots.

        The prescribed western “mainstream” narrative is liberal. As a result your stereotypical liberal have been told all their life that by simply parroting the state line makes them virtuous, and they have been egged on and positively reinforced for that choice at every turn. This fosters a special kind of people.
