I think this Renee Good thing has sincerely broken my wife’s brother’s brain. He was never a Trump supporter, but not really political, either, kind of a vague lib. But after this, he’s been sending meme after meme and clip after clip to my wife talking about how much ICE and cops suck and stuff, each one getting increasingly rage filled.
Anyone else got any fun examples of seeing your lib, or even chud, friends, family, or coworkers getting increasingly radicalized? (In a good way, this is /c/bloomer)
I got a few coworkers that I’ve become friends with. Most are libertarian-flavored but some lean socialist libertarian. I’m working on one of them but he’s a bit hella ADHD so it’s been a trip. I also did a standard issue wall of text with another trying to help him navigate the negative propaganda around socialism. He’s a real “French Revolution” kind of dude so there is something there, I think. I got another coworker that posts some socialist leaning stuff and even interacts with my socialist posting on Facebook. I pegged him as libertarian but I think he’s a closet socialist. Another coworker is my guitarist for my band project and he’s said a few things that lead me to believe he’s radicalizing.
It’s funny because even though I’ve taken a step down from organizing, It feels like I’m still in the trenches.
