That’s basically what I did. My partner was generally lib/apolitical, then I have gradually radicalized her. I did get super lucky that she understands and had/has very strong opinions about climate and environmentalism (part of how we bonded in the first place), so that was an easy vector -> explaining why I believed that solving those problems was impossible without communism. Now we’ll be watching some slop tv show and she’ll start to do unpromted material analysis and it gets me all hot and bothered

Same goes for Hungary. My Hungarian friend is basically who radicalized me, he takes it as completely obvious that things were better under socialism

Reminds me of a colleague who told me her old boss allowed employees two squares of toilet paper per trip to the bathroom. And would have regular meetings about it when she could see from “calculations” that people were exceeding it.

Did you read your own source? Where does it provide actual evidence for a genocide? It’s primarily an anti-chinese think piece which claims that “up to one million” Uyghurs are in interment camps. It also makes sweeping claims about the intentions of the Chinese state, without ever actually providing any evidence for their claims (other than mentioning “leaked documents” which they interestingly never provide or link to).

Do you have any actual sources?

I saw a thread on praising the Macklemore Gaza song, in which he explicitly says he won’t vote for Biden. Someone wrote a comment like “yeah, I won’t vote for Biden either. Genocide is a dealbreaker” or something like that, and the comment had like 50 downvotes and a bunch of nerds going “what, you prefer Trump who will do genocide but on steroids??”. Honestly hilarious that they were seemingly fine with the song, but the moment a “normal” had the nerve to repeat the lyrics their lib attack dog mindset kicked in.

Makes me so fucking dejected. Not even just for myself, but I have wonderful nieces and nephews and they don’t deserve this shit

In fact, it could easily be argued that it would be in your best interest to do everything in your power to stop the bus

So public support for Palestine is just straight up outlawed then? Wonder if they’re already handing out fines to people wearing keffiyeh yet?

In Denmark, just waiting for my government to conclude that it was the Russians. Who for some reason decided to blow up the pipeline rather than just turn the big dial on their end to “off”. Because they’re evil or whatever.
