From all the concern trolling I see in the other instances it's clear that there's no winning over these people. Everything is "Kremlin propaganda" to them. I do think a lot of chapos did go a little overboard with the PPB, but even thoughtful responses were met with the "hateful rhetoric" and "Kremlin talking points" BS. As always, it is to the Global South we must look to for any hope in the future...

As of 2017, I was watching Chris Hayes every night. People can change their minds. A lot of the libs we see here are just hall monitor types.

anybody who's still a committed lib after watching the US botch the response to COVID is unsalvagable

Is there at least some benefit (if not immediate, perhaps after sober thought) for people of hexbear to have the experience of engaging with people who are so vehemently against us?

It can be a little fun, i guess.

Seriously though, like all arguements online, you hope spectators see and maybe change their minds, or give them something to consider at least

Please never go on South African twitter or Facebook if you think the stuff you've seen on Lemmy is bad and gives you no hope. There are plenty of dumbasses in the global south/third world
