  • Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?

  • Hah, no. When I look at the conservative party all I see is hate, hate and more hate.

    You hate the people that are different from you or whoever you're told to hate. You spend so much time dressing up this hate to make it more palatable for yourself and others, but if you peel it all away, that's what really drives you and your fellow conservatives and it is just shameful.

    At least with the tankies, what they do, they do because it'll bring true equality (or at least that's what they're led to believe).

    The reign pullers for conservatives tells you to vote for them, support them, spread propaganda for them to hate on a group because some group deserves your hate for one inane reason or another.

    The reign pullers for tankies have to get their support by promising good things like equality, the banishment of the rich, full unalienable human rights to include healthcare.

    Yea the reign pullers are lying, they always do that on all sides, but what they have to lie to you about to get you to do the things they want you to do MATTERS.

    And the lies they feed you, are disgusting.

  • Yea, IRL it's possible, but it's much got damn work. I'm doing this rn for some family members, and it's been a few years and I think I'm starting to make a breakthrough on one.

    I've needed to stoop to some "drastic" measures though, like manipulating their favored corporate social media algorithms away from the alt-right bubbles or drastically artificially slowing down certain places like Facebook so that it's "painful to use"

  • Well, this has got to be one of the only things I've ever upvoted from you, but yea

    Internet arguments are more about the audience than the tankie you're arguing against.

    I've certainly taken that approach with the tankies these days, I used to debate them, now I don't really because its pointless. I reply to them every time, but it's arguments for the audience more than anything.

    When I was petitioning for !conservative@lemmy.world to turn it into a satire comm, one kind of comment I saw come up was "if they don't have a comm where we can argue with them, how can we get them to see the light?" (And before anyone brings it up, yes there are other Lemmy spaces (and a whole instance! (HilariousChaos) that are for "serious" conservative comms like !conservative@sh.itjust.works) and I still think it's pointless to try because of what I covered with the opening post, but I was really hoping for at least a rare case of it happening.

    Sometimes I find things personally interesting, but don't have the energy or bandwidth to also discuss, but might later

    Sometimes I come across something I think others will find interesting, but don't personally

    Sometimes I don't initially find something I posted personally interesting but the comments catch my attention

    Sometimes I come across something I don't find interesting, but it seems like it would be a niche thing with a niche Lemmy comm that could use some more traffic

    Sometimes it's just a crosspost from a .ml comm to a non-.ml comm to help reduce .ml's influence and general boycott of them

  • That must have been like a lifetime ago lmao, there's only been a few times on modern Reddit pre-API debacle that I was able to actually get a Reddit post to go "viral" on r/all and only like twice that the post also didn't get removed for something or another when it got there LMAO

  • They are still evil in how they treat Uyghurs, Tibetans and democracy activists. They definitely use torture on dissidents.

    Nah, you're not a tankie if you're saying that earnestly.

    Tankies defend the CCP/Russia no matter what, it's always they've done nothing wrong and if they did, it wasn't that bad, and if it was that bad, it was just "western propaganda" so it isn't true.

    I've seen (and documented) them saying that "they're just reeducation camps, they're not that bad and it's done anyways so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯" and allowing Russian propaganda that their invasion "was just a diplomatic maneuver"

    You're just bringing an argument "I think X is bad, but not worse than Y because Z"
