  • There are multiple levels here. The first level, and first conversion, is actually getting a Leftist foot in the Liberal door to listen to our pitch. To that end, Hasan is the door-to-door salesman that is canvassing for leads, the very top of the funnel. Only some of them will even give him the time of day, let alone listen to his pitch. But a few will, and some of them will move onto the next level where we can go deeper.

    That ability to shapeshift is valuable as long as it's broadly done in the service of left principles without compromising on things like genocide.

    Absolutely! It's all about knowing your audience. Our goal is still converting them to our ideas, but we can tailor our pitch to things they care about.

  • :this: and also

    I like to see it as a sales funnel, with Hasan out there canvassing leads (the sales funnel) to at least hearing Socialism's sales pitch (the first conversion). Hasan's whole job is to get a Leftist foot in the door. From there the baton is passed to the next group (like us) to further convert those people. Rarely is a sales pitch a one-and-done thing, especially for huge projects like political change, so we need to stair-step. The biggest tool in our toolbox is The Burden Of Being Right. When we make predictions and explain how we got that conclusion it basically does all the real hard work for us.

    I say all of this as a former Clintonite Liberal^[Yes, I used to say "Socially Liberal Fiscally Conservative" and "Socialism works in theory but not in practice" completely unironically. American brainworms go deep.] during the Bush years, arguing in good but naive faith with Leftists. I needed to get cooked on low heat as I got most historical events wrong time and time again while Leftists got most everything right.

  • Reposting from another thread: Hasan has a place in the pipeline for the growing disenchantment liberals are feeling.

    I appreciate his work but he really is custom made for clueless soon-to-be baby leftist Americans.

    Bingo! Hasan knows his audience, and he is the biggest funnel for a Left pipeline. If he became more dogmatic the funnel would narrow. Leftism is like vegetables for somebody that only ever ate corporate junk food. All the arguments about health or being natural do not work with picky eaters. Forcing them to eat their vegetables is a straight road to failure. Sometimes you need to cover their veggies up with cheese mornay or salad dressing to make it more palatable.

    I literally have to embody this meme to get any traction.

    In my experience you need to babywalk liberals into Leftist positions, inch by painful inch, and let me tell you it takes a while for things to sink in. If they feel you are being dogmatic they stop listening :wall-talk: It happened to me during the George Floyd protests where I was too hot too quickly about the police and it turned off the people I was reaching out to. I have since softened up my delivery so when the :amerikkka: state goons executed Good and Pretti those ideas landed far better.

    Hasan is the softball leftist that baby liberals can swallow without immediately throwing up, and from that crack I can trojan even more leftist theory. I do the same thing with Trump using the liberal anger at him and Democracts as a breach in the defenses for more radical ideas. I am using war against Iran right now as a vehicle for introducing historical US foreign policy. I do it with people like John Oliver or Jon Stewart, despite both being absolute libs, because they are just palatable enough to form a crack that I can use, especially against the police. Same with NPR or PBS despite being literally funded by the State.

    I am not arguing for anybody to abandon their position. Let that be your anchor as you are slowly guide others towards your position. Drip feed some counter-arguments as they come up.

  • Marx did point out that each Capitalist is nominally free, but is functionally coerced by Capital Accumulation to continuously act in a certain way.

    That is, of course, until the peasants get dangerous ideas. Then the ruling class will hastily end their own wars to crush them.

    Anyone got an Iran/Khamenei primer post? Don't know much, would like to know the left perspective.

  • While somebody better chimes in, here are some points of interest.

    :amerikkka: and :england-cool: decide to coup the Iranian president in 1953 over nationalization of British Petroleum fields in Iran. The elevation of the Shaw (King) to absolute rule is largely seen as a US puppet. This is one of the first regime changes in the Cold War, and establishes the blueprint for :cia: covert programs. Fast forward to the later 1970s and there are major protests that lead to the fall of the Shah and established an Islamist state under Khomeini. During the revolution the US embassy was stormed by students and revolutionary forces and hostages taken for over a year.

  • A good transition from Epstein to a general class analysis can start with how there is a double standard for justice; one for the Elite, and one for the rest of us. Liberals can easily see that. From there you can get to how laws are created by and for the same class, bailouts for corporations, enrichment schemes, etc, etc.

  • Defensive munition shortages to shape any US attack on Iran. US and Israel burned through interceptors at an unprecedented rate during last year’s 12-day war.

    Jump

  • US military is weighing the likelihood that Iran’s retaliation will strain the supply of those crucial munitions while it struggles to replenish them, affecting not just the war in Ukraine but also Washington’s battle plans for any possible conflict with China or Russia. ... discussions have focused on the need to preserve those munitions for other theatres, which could force Israel to take more measures to protect itself while the US military shields its own forces and other allies, the official said.

    I've said it before: :isntrael: is a Crusader State and will wane when Western support wanes.
