    I feel like we fundamentally differ on one thing, that people can grow and change their opinion. I believe this is an inflection point. And you can use it to further challenge someone’s ideas. You use every opportunity you get to grow your base of support.

    Does that mean you’ll get burnt by someone, yeah, but you gotta try, otherwise there’s no point. That’s my 2 cents.

      I agree people should recruit from these radicalizing moments. I don’t believe for a second that the vast majority of protestors are open or willing to learn and oppose capitalism and imperialism, but even if 1-5% want to and they’re willing to listen to us then those are definitely welcome.

        I agree vast majority will go back to business as usual. But 3% growth is pretty substantial. It’s more than the 0 if we didn’t even try.
