How would you approach persuading a far extreme liberal toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

      Far left extremism. Soviets wanted to create utopia where everyone is equal, except the leaders of course. That’s not gonna change. And then it cascades into straight up dictatorship.

            If someone hands you a bowl of shit and tells you it’s chocolate pudding, that doesn’t make actual chocolate pudding shitty.

            But, I can definitely understand being skeptical of chocolate pudding after eating a bowl of shit.

            At the very least I guess we can both agree that we need to check our pudding for pieces of shit before we dive right in.
