    the most important thing to do is to keep rallying other leftists to the same conclusion. we can’t get locked into a echo chamber. we have to be spreading the word to others.

      we also need to not be attacking other leftists for not being left enough or being too far left.

      the right is unified in its hatred of the left. The left is divided by its hatred of the left. At least one of these two needs to change or we’re doomed to fascism.

        Be wary of divisive rhetoric. They drum up legitimate grievance on every side and then, pretending to be every side, start pointing fingers.

        Like a reverberating snowball that prevents actual communication and gets their enemies working for them, usually due to a semantic or experiential difference between groups. This creates targets who in defending themselves are confused with the actual enemies using defensive or questioning rhetoric to obfuscate.

        Wish there were proper places to cooperatively map and respond to these divisive manipulations.

        Most attempts get astroturfed using semantic drift to drum up more division, preventing any development.

        Same thing happened to discredit BLM, which was the largest target for Russian propaganda. Etc
