    Again, hallucinations. I didn’t say any of that and i especially didn’t say that we are less censored anywhere else.

    I am saying that the western countries are not ready to hear you out if socialist still equals Nazi in the heads of the people.

    Idk about the situation in brazil and why they seemingly are more ready to hear socialists out, but i assume it has to do with their material conditions being worse and having a clear enemy with no “acceptable left” (americas democrats) that catches all people who might radicalize to divert them to the ballot box.

    We don’t exist yet. Leftism, especially socialism, is dead here and we sinply still need to work on building a base of people that is even willing to hear socialist ideas.

    Hasan is part of exactly that. The first part of the pipeline.

      It’s the opposite. They have much more of an “acceptable left” with Lula and PT than the US has. The reason people in Brazil are more ready to hear socialists out is because the latter actually exist. Socialism gets normalized by people proudly claiming and explaining it, not by pretending people first need to be “primed” with vague “leftist” thought or whatever for such things. Which communist revolution in history needed or even benefited from such a pipeline? Literally none of them, because stuff like that isn’t what pushes people left. People aren’t pushed leftwards, they’re pulled leftwards.

      But you’re right that Hasan is the first part of the pipeline, though. It’s just too bad that that pipeline leads from himself to himself.

        Yeah, and y’all are trying to rip them towards you. I am asking you to pull them more gently and somehow you hallucinate me saying that i want them pushed. Like, i don’t even think that you are strawmanning on purpose. You just imagine shit and think it’s real.

        Laughable.
