Sure but that’s what makes the spaces not quite what they need to be in order to create this pipe properly. They reach up to a certain point and then they abruptly stop, the hope is that somewhere outside of that space will pick up the slack but if millions of people are carrying off the anti-tankie culture into other spaces too then what you’re getting is a spread of the “don’t radicalise yourself any further” mindset.

The single most important part of the culture to create is to make radicalisation a virtue and to encourage people to radicalise more and more and more. That’s what is needed.

yeah I know, but for now any individual can only do so much and just keep picking away at slowly moving people away from the anti-tankie idea and maybe showing how it’s similar to how Orwell informed on communists in the cold war.

The only real alternative seems to be to start a coordinated astro-turfing project in 196 with alts and maybe bots to sway the conversation.

I do wonder if it might be feasible to become a famous and well-liked poweruser in the community and then reveal being a tankie without completely nuking reputation built up, thus creating a platform from which to be listened to and direct behaviour in the space. The idea is however extremely time consuming to the point of only being possible if unemployed or otherwise online 24/7.
