Comment on Divided and conquered
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoOk but that’s a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren’t evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.
wow, I guess you should tell them to stop being dicks instead of coming to leftwing spaces and telling us to hug the bullies.
That’s not what they’re saying at all. Go look into some of MLKs teachings. Kindness and being gentle, in duality with an aggressive force like Malcom X was at the time, is how we win this fight.
There are those of us fighting the peaceful fight and those of us fighting the violent fight (Thank you Adjuster).
Why do you think they became bullies?
I don’t care.

Lol I’m a leftist. If you want to be productive, you can’t push everyone out. You have to find common ground. Our society is breaking. Communism has plenty to offer most MAGA people. They just need to see it.

I’m not pushing anyone out; I’m pushing OP (and you) to proselytize to the right wing and MAGA people.

I’m trying. They are so close. Their whole brains are full of conspiracies of elites trying to destroy Western Civilization and they are so so close to class consciousness.

The only way out of this is to vote blue no matter who, but a lot of so-called communists would refuse the call, and that’s why we’re losing. We’re not only divided by left and right, the left itself is being intentionally splintered by bad actors. The left needs to come together, play politics, remove Republicans from office, and only then will real impactful progressive reform be possible.
