Which we should see as an excellent radicalization and growth opportunity!
It can be exhausting explaining ourselves again and again, always met with the same accusations and assumptions born from the mythos spun by our enemies.
However, we must remember these people are people, and many people change their minds given enough information, delivered with firm respect. For every belligerent person who appears like they wouldn't change their mind for anything, there are 10 people quietly lurking who are more on-the-fence. Even those who regurgitate insults and contempt may change their mind when the stars align!
These people are not our enemies, they are victims to the greatest campaign of dishonesty in human history! It is our duty to draw out the poison and deliver the medicine!
I know many comrades here have very difficult lives and do not have the patience or energy to deal with such people. Please do not exhaust yourself interacting with liberals, and allow comrades with more energy to deal with them.
Radicalizing online is not the end-all be-all, but at this point in the psychological war for those within the Anglosphere, every victory is invaluable!!!
I have absolutely zero patience for anti-communism
um...you should try to be torlerant...
Is this a bit?
Mind clarifying what you mean, or giving a little more context?
like...in response to Rasm653u
Yes, because how I read it was "be tolerant to anti-communest reaction, be tollerant to potentially even fascists and Nazis
Be tolerant to anti-commies. Do NOT be tolerant to facists and Nazis.
Fascists are the prime spreaders of anti-communism. Many of the myths about Soviet atrocities or Russian supremacy in the Soviet Union originated in Nazi propaganda. The most vicious anti-communists are usually fascists and the most principled anti-fascists are usually communists. The fascist blackshirt gangs rose in Italy as a counter force to the rise of communism, killing communists and labor organizers. The first people the Nazis killed were communists. Communist parties and the red army were the first to rise up and defend against fascism. US installed Fascist/neoliberal (what’s the difference?) dictators like Suharto and Pinochet genocided communists. Where were Nazis effectively cracked down on? Socialist countries like the USSR.
Where’s the liberal anti-fascism? Liberals always defend fascists’ “free speech” and condemn the suppression of reactionary views. They think you can “debate them in the market place of ideas,” but you can’t. The liberal United States allowed most medium to high ranking Nazi party members to keep their position in West Germany. East Germany effectively de-nazified. The US nuked Japan to make them surrender on their conditions so they could keep the same fascists in power to be an anti-communist beacon, just be under the US’s thumb. If they surrendered to the then invading Red Army (like they almost did) they would have had to Denazify and the on-the-ground Communists who were gaining traction might have gotten power. Today it is the Liberal democrats that support flag waving fascists in Ukraine and their banning of all opposition (especially left-parties and trade unions).
By the way, this is the first time I’ve seen you off matrix, welcome. I hope you learn a few things while you’re here.
Oh hey, QueerCommie! Nice to see you! But, um, sorry, I didn't know nazis were the biggest anti-commies. Most of my friends are anti-commies.
This is a 10/10 bit. I love it comrade
You forgot the part where they suppress communist views
I was going to mention how there were multiple red scares attacking even slight leftists in the US while there were none attacking the open far right (even Nazi supporters like those in America First), but I forgot.
That is an overlapping venn diagram of people
