On lemmy.world I posted a comment on how liberals use ‘tankie’ as an invective to shut down dialogue and received tons of hateful replies. I tried to respond in a rational way to each. Someone’s said ‘get educated’ I responded ‘Im reading Norman Finkelstein’s I’ll burn that bridge when I get there’ and tried to keep it civil.

They deleted every comment I made and banned me. Proving my point, they just want to shut down dialogue. Freedom of speech doesn’t existing in those ‘totalitarian’ countries right? But in our ‘enlightened’ western countries we just delete you.

    Yes thanks, I’ve watched Parenti’s yellow lecture. Sadly, I could not get my son to watch; he said it looked “old.” But he knows more about Marx than me, so there is hope. GenZ may surprise us all.

      Parenti’s lectures are great! I have faith in GenZ, too. They might need some encouragement, which it sounds like your son is getting already.

      Maybe just the audio from Parenti’s lectures will do the trick? https://lemmygrad.ml/post/899886

        He listens to Deprogram, on YouTube. YouTube is everything to GenZ, and TikTok. Thanks for the links, there’s so much to learn.
