The most important takeaways from this are:

  1. It’s easy for small political groups to become deaf to what ordinary people actually care about, and
  2. That type of tone deafness makes your small political group a joke and you get nothing done.

No ordinary person gives a shit about abolishing driver’s licenses. It’s at worst some manageable hassle they have to deal with every few years, and if anything they probably want fewer reckless drivers on the road. What policies do leftists have endless struggle sessions about, that no ordinary person is really invested in?

and this is why the main line strategy is the best strategy there is. talk to someone about something they hate about our society, let them lead the conversation, and synthesize their complaint into the most left wing talking point you can. see if they agree with it, if not, ask what theyd do to fix it and then make that even further left. odds are, they agree with you at this point and its so much easier to convince them of other left wing things

i was slowly able to make a gun hating lib into a gun toting socialist this way

the abolition of the state vs. not

no one cares about this issue at all, the benefits are nebulous at best and most people will look at you like youre a weirdo if you start taking about smashing the state. the only way abolition of the state makes sense is when the entire world is socialist and we all decide to decrease the bureaucracy of borders, itll just be a natural progression of society where most things are great but we just want to get rid of minor annoyances and antagonisms.

Thing is, there is two categories. The ones that are about what is to be done, and how various things affect the movement, which no ordinary person cares about but only because they are not invested in the movement, and the ones that are like the driver’s license thing.

Not their ideology or anything. Just the adherence to the bit.

So true. The booing could not be structured better in a comedy bit. My favourite Simpsons bits include crowds being chaotic reactionaries, often turning to riots.
