Important article discussing why words don’t influence people and what can be done instead Also check out Sarah’s website https://www.sarahsteinlubrano.com/
That’s part of why the far right is winning: it’s good at mobilising people’s relationships and actions in this shrivelled world, all while capitalising on people’s worsening material circumstances. To fix this, progressives need to take back wealth and power, so that everyone is supported in expanding their lives.
Gibberish.
The right always has wealth and power; progressive forces are always on the outside of wealth and power. We can’t take it “back”, it was never ours. This is a dead end.
What the article totally overlooks is labor organizing. The people you work with are a point of social contact that share your material conditions that you spend time around every day, if you want to change people’s minds you can actually do it in the workplace.
surprised about the up votes since it implies you should consider being a trump supporter if you are not one already
You made me reade this article, which I dismissed as a clickbait before, but I cannot find it. Where is that implication?
“try a new way of living, something small to start with. See if it doesn’t change your political views, at least a little. Or perhaps it will transform your understanding of politics itself.”
if you dont support trump now, maybe you will if you open your mind
Not if you “open your mind” but if you change your lifestyle and friend groups i.e. your material conditions. Join a cult you will probably be changed by it.
