      How do we re-appropriate conservative shit for our side? Even if it doesn’t work, it would at least piss them off to see a “come and take it” flag being waved at a union rally.

        I think there’s potential to do that, especially if you go for the roots of their outrage, which can have legitimate sources, such as “I worked hard all my life and I keep getting fucked over” before it gets steered into “it’s because of the (slurs)” channels.

          Right, like I think there is sincere merit to “meeting them where they’re at” and holding off on telling them “oh by the way, did you know EVERYTHING you were told by Fox News, the internet, and church was a lie?”. I don’t mean just doing tailism and coddling them, but realizing that not every grillman is a hedonistic CHUD. Anyone that lacks that curiosity and is just itching for the next ammo to use against minorities we can fully write off.

        There’s a reason the term “old money” exists and not “old protections”; Old money’s spent generations keeping itself safe, which is probably why the French were like gui-better

        We’re not yet at the stage where the rich have developed anti- gui technology
