Material. Conditions. Speaking as someone who used to be a Christian, I know just how frankly impossible it is to change someone's mind who isn't in a 'sensitive' frame of mind (made me feel gross just typing that). If someone isn't looking for a new answer to the way their world is going tits up, they're not going to listen to you. Why would they? They've got it all sorted out. I know this because I've tried to argue with people who've I've sent actual physical money to in order to support them after their roof collapsed in. Their answer? Not solidarity, but continued slide into fascism.

Maybe you can plant a seed, but I've given up on trying to change hearts and minds. That's a battle for someone else to fight. For now, all I'm going to do is support the people who need help and assist the people who have some kind of socialist plan.
