    Not sure, something about them needing continue their learning more on the complexities of the matter. Particularly on why many don’t agree.

    That’s how you’d respond to a fucking Nazi being showcased.

    You would come into a comm about recording neonazi insanity and opt that you don’t know why such a statement is strange or objectionable, that it ultimately was really balanced statement and just showed a bit of bias (which we all have), and that it’s really, deep down, the first step to a better understanding of the world.

    Well, at least you’re consistent. For what that’s worth.

    I don’t know that user, but the tone does not strike me as quite dead set, so I wouldn’t say is a good foil for this comm to make our point that tankies are detrimental to overall leftist movements, but that is just how i read the replies.

    … not quite deadset? Just how set do you have to be before you start praising the Soviet Union as the ‘successes of socialism’ and condemning fucking Brezhnev as a ‘revisionist’?

    Still I am aware of the lens they are seeing things and feel that show casing them closes off others leaving that view from leaving as well.

    “If only we swept it under the rug and gave them asspats for showing their totalitarian ideology in public, it would really help them leave it behind!”

    Yes. I’m sure it would.

      I guess how deadset is a you know it when you see it the of thing.

      And again. I don’t find alt history interesting and its to open ended. I don’t think it makes for good discussions. Maybe they grow up.

      and that it’s really, deep down, the first step to a better understanding of the world.

      Yeah, everyone starts somewhere. Everyone is at a different part of the same journey to understanding the world around them. Someone moving should be encourage to stay moving. The com is for those that stay put or move back.

      Pointing out one with some level of curiosity doesn’t serve goals I feel. People start their spark in real science in science fiction. Just gotta get them past the fantasy.
