alt-text for thumbnail: text saying “blocking fascists is self-care” next to an antifascist flag on a 2d digital art wooden background
edit:
reactionaries in the comments, look at that. Not surprising since this place downvotes everything related to queer and disabled people, I suggest yall find somewhere else to hang out. I got a discord server if anyone is interested

"Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. It'll just knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut about like it's won anyway."

that is not online, the circumstances are very different. This also doesn't stop them from doing fascism, it just changes what fascism they do. I am not sure the impact of that is all too great
it probably just convinces them to focus on attacking disabled people, women, queer people, etc

If you assume failure at the outset, you guarantee it.

if you assume everything you could try will succeed you will be found dead at the bottom of a cliff
there is a difference between guaranteed failure and efficiency as well
from this comment my assumption is that you didnt watch the video. I think you should probably focus on context before jumping into a conversation

hmm yes, talking to this person who has differing political options from me is going to literally kill me

Cool but what your want is more people believing your ideology, so it's strategically best to convert and understand. Ignore and block is a losing strategy.

there are many non fascists willing to be "converted", only targeting those least likely to join is the losing strategy lol

I've had numerous ideological and political deltas in my life, so I know it's possible.
