The US aggression against Iran has generated even more political fervor. This is something I’ve witnessed in my closest circles with a Mamdani-lib sibling of mine commenting that “North Korea’s also never done anything” which was a shock to hear given some of our previous conversations.
My partner has made even more progress. They’ve almost completely flipped on many stances in regards to countries amongst the “axis of evil”.
This has all led me to wonder: What’s the best way to take advantage of the turmoil, and push temporary-baby-leftists to a more concrete position?
Thinking of something like the guide’s Cowbee puts out but even more digestible for entry level -potential communists, really want to create lasting impressions that generate questions.
I sympathize. But that’s also uncomfortable nuance. I’m told that encouraging the death penalty discourages reports because people often don’t want their family or acquaintances killed.
This is what I mean about people having to rely on the social capital of their abusers though. The condemnation usually changes nothing. Might enable couch surfing. There is no real community, just clusters of private societies. It makes me miserable to think about it.
