Its been awesome talking 1 on 1 with her about my "political" views. I got to explain western propoganda re: communism, define marxism and explain to her how and why I hate liberals more than she does. When I explained I was basically just a dialectical materialist who didn't believe in culture war bullshit or dividing the working class along those lines, she said "well gee, when you say it like that it kinda makes sense."

Anyway, now we're going shooting together! :stalin-heart:

Btw I do not plan to tell anyone at this range that Im a marxist, I can already see the story in this tiny county's local edition: "Tragic gun malfunction kills one at local gun range"

      I get what you're saying. But a lot of conservatives will here the "dividing the working class" line, and be like "yeah thats why this blm stuff is wrong", ""They" are trying to divide us by color"

      Agreed. I feel like this site really struggles to understand what conservatives are actually like, and tend to elevate all of them to the heights of the most hateful fascists.

        Strong 'as a white man I have never faced racism' vibes

      I’ve had to interact with, though, aren’t explicitly racist. like, they hate BLM and may be uncomfortable around black people, but they don’t hold any explicit beliefs about white supremacy

      No explicit white supremacist beliefs, just calling the cops on any one that looks 'suspicious', not hiring people because they don't fit the work place 'culture'. Sure. I wonder if you're this generous with libs?
