    It’s funny how you think you’re expertly navigating a political landscape, and when you finally become a leftist, you see you were Mr. Magoo

    We could all work together for common ground, but you want to be authoritarian

    Yes, I want the working class to have all the authority. Not the rich, not the establishment. Imagine a world where people are treated with dignity and the working class are paid fairly for the value of their labor instead of receiving little to nothing from their value. You should want this too, but here you are still clinging on to an infantile ideology like right wing libertarianism.

    :fidel-balling:

      The tipping point for someone like this is literally just the fact that they do not hate the rich nor blame the rich for anything nor see the rich as actively and knowingly causing everything that is occurring.

      He gets everything else. He just doesn't get that you can't work with the rich for common ground. Once that is established in his mind you have achieved everything you need for them to radicalise leftwards.

    First thing I'd do to as a show of appeal is ask "reopening the Machinegun registry, and abolishing the DEA. for Singlepayer Healthcare?"

    "Encourage the courts to overturn state magazine or rifle bans/restrictions. reopen the Machinegun registry, begin rollback of the DEA's narcotic division, for singlepayer healthcare and nationalization of some major pharma companies*?"

    *that benefitted from publicly funded research.

    "Hey, lets work together towards a common end."

    "Alright, well... I would like to do X."

    "Fuck X. Wanting to do X is authoritarian. I thought we could work together, but now I realize you were never interested in anything accept your own selfish desires."
