I know that liberals are a pain to deal with, always parroting the same made up crap over and over again, but hear me out.

I think we should at least try to keep in mind that most of these people just don’t know better, they have been propagandized 24/7 since they were born.

I’m sure a good chunk of the people here were just the average liberal until learning what socialism really is about, and I doubt many if any at all of the people here decided to become a socialist after getting insulted by one.

Insulting liberals might feel cathartic for some people but we have to remember that, in a sense, they are also victims.

Obviously I’m not saying that we should be nice to fascists that knowingly make other people suffer, but I’m pretty sure most liberals actually want to be good people, and end up hurting others and themselves not because they are evil but because as I said earlier they are propagandized 24/7, and they actually think that what they are doing is good.

I myself am a socialist today partly because someone linked me to a debunk on r/GenZedong about the supposed Uighur genocide. At the time I was still a baby leftist, so I didn’t really trust r/GenZedong, but I decided to trust the person who gave me the link and I read it.

What do you comrades think?

    Since we’re fighting for the hearts and minds of liberals we shouldn’t alienate them unnecessarily. I was a starry-eyed, bless-your-heart type liberal who considered myself a good, intelligent person, but I was never exposed to anything that would have allowed me to see through the propaganda until my mid-20s. But when I was, everything clicked and I was able to accept communism and ML pretty easily. It took a long time but I came around.
