I really think society as a whole needs to work on better deradicalization strategies. So far the one that works best for me is "relate [unreasonable hatred] to [thing you both don't like]", sort of like how conflict management works. It's not you vs me, it's you and me vs the problem. If you've got better ideas/strategies/studies drop em lol

#for me this has mostly manifested as telling conservatives in my life who are on the fence abt trans issues #that the 'femin*zis' and memey red haired w*mbyn f*minists they used to see memes about and hate so bad today #are actually rampant tr*nsphobes and t*rfs #and then relate how ridiculous being anti trans is to how ridiculous those memes used to be #like obviously its Not Great Optics but i think leftism as a whole has too much liberalist focus on Saying The Right Things #over Doing The Right Things #if i have to drop a mild slur or play into conservative rhetoric or gross trigger humor to get my point across #if i have a shot to actually potentially deradicalize someone i care about #then i will lol. theres really nothing more to it than that #im of course saying this on the Completely Misinterpret A Mild Potentially Offensive Political Post website #so i am definitely expecting a random amount of the dumbest clowning on earth ahead of time #words censored to avoid showing up in tags r*dfems get blocked etc etc
