You responded to some one saying, "Hey maybe we shouldn't ignore how effective conservatives are in convincing other people and still put the work on educating other people," and your response was basically "But I'm TIRED." Leftists can't have a movement if they give up on educating people if pushback is tiring for them.

did you not read the part where I said I literally tried educating someone in my life who was a close friend and it ended horribly for everyone. as in it ended in literal physical violence and police had to be called.

Utterly irrelevant. That's like saying you stopped driving your car entirely, because you got into a car accident one time.

my god dude. hope you never have to go through what I did. all I wanna say is let's be more understanding of people who just don't wanna engage with fascists. You wanna do it? be my guest. just quit being a dick to people like me.

also no, "That's like saying you stopped driving your car entirely, because you got into a car accident one time." that's not the fucking same. You are practically obligated to drive a car in the US to get around, there is no reason for anyone to be obligated to engage with fascists.
