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"

    This may not be useful in this specific case, but I have had a lot of luck explaining to people that BLM used to be super based but the original organizers got killed and replaced by mostly libs who cynically appropriated it to get more votes. This is a bit of a simplification, but not by much.

    Like, what has BLM even managed to accomplish? Very little. If the liberals actually cared they would have helped them do a lot more, instead of actively opposing them while claiming they are helping.

    If someone isn't a lost cause on the racism front this makes them come to the conclusion that black people as a whole are at least just as, if not more frustrated with liberals as they are, and they are not an enemy. The fact you didn't tell them that, just led them there makes it stick in their head very well.
