From all the concern trolling I see in the other instances it’s clear that there’s no winning over these people. Everything is “Kremlin propaganda” to them. I do think a lot of chapos did go a little overboard with the PPB, but even thoughtful responses were met with the “hateful rhetoric” and “Kremlin talking points” BS. As always, it is to the Global South we must look to for any hope in the future…
It’s frustrating, I agree. But “shitposting leftie site interacts with some other echo chambers for a week and has some non-constructive disagreements” is not really a datum from which to draw any wider conclusions.
Personally, I’ve seen at least five users on separate occasions ask questions in good faith and concede points. If anything I’ve been surprised by some of the positive responses to our community, rather than being 100% rebuffed from the get-go.
