By redeemable I mean working class types that know the system is fucked, but through a myriad of reasons go “ew it’s the “insert whatever minority group/conspiracy theory” as oppose to the petite bourgeois or outright fascist types. They get the Minecraft level up

    This describes a lot of people I know IRL. To be honest, I don't think we should spend too much extra effort trying to recruit reactionary, white, working class people. They may find their way to the Good News, but if they do it's gonna be a journey that they need to initiate and go on themselves. Sure, if your buddy knows you're a socialist and they want know your thoughts on stuff, by all means. But I think we'll have more success reaching out to more working class folks among groups that have faced and continue to face more oppression (i.e. indigenous and black communities and communities of color) and workers who have become jaded and largely checked out of the system.
