    they will sometimes even revert to justifying genocide.

    but dont the working class need to be convinced though? many of these people hate socialism while struggling to eat.

      Yes, the working class does. Libs are usually privileged. My anecdotal experience is that liberals will just throw out a thought terminating cliche or are condescending and won’t even consider any alternative ideas. To even start a conversation with them, a topic needs to be mentioned by John Oliver or some other dipshit to even become acceptable for them to discuss.

      I have had so many conversations just be redirected to “China bad” when not even remotely related. I.e. we need better public transport met with the response: well if we had “uyghur Muslim slave labor like China, we could” (I wanted to slap the mofo who said that because 500 Muslims were killed in a refugee camp air strike that very morning). So I have just decided that liberals in America are irredeemable. May be unfair, but it’s a personal decision. I will talk to poor and oppressed people all day, everyday but not libs.

      Edit: the person who said this also believes Amazon workers are ok to treat like shit because they have shares in Amazon.
