I see .ml found this post. There are almost as many dumb comments as there are downvotes.
- They be like "but if the top people are being ran over, it'll radicalize them into communist ideology, and no way could a surveillance state, that is being promised by Trump and co. to to be even more extensive than the current one, combined with the promise of using the military against protestors, ever hinder the ability of a nation-wide revolution".
  
  I'm so glad that deteriorating material conditions radicalize people into left-wing ideologies, here I was worried that educating people was what radicalized them into left-wing ideologies. That's why whenever I go home to Appalachia for a visit everyone there is wearing red. Th-that is the reason they're so politically fond of red, r-right...?
- Does reporting them work?
  
  As far as I know, being dumb isn't against the community's rules, so no. That would just be bothering the mods for no reason.
  
  I read something along the lines of "Report, do not engage" but maybe it's more for obvious shills?
  Thanks for the heads up though!
  
  "Report, do not engage" is for trolls. These people are true believers, they just believe in something deeply immoral and senseless, because they think they won't suffer the consequences of fascism.
  
  Thanks for clearing that out, and yes, as I went to school and also grew up alongside the soviet fucking union I'm quite aware that these poor souls are quite delusional.
  It's quite interesting for me how they can hold those beliefs. They're so engaged too.
  Almost a shame they are not a bit more tame because now it's hard or even impossible to engage in a constructive discussion with them.
  
  Not engaging is still valid for idiots, not just trolls.
- How are people supposed to react to a meme arguing that genocide is inevitable?
  
  Not rejecting reality to throw a fit and ensure as many people are killed as possible instead would be a good start.
  
  If you endorse a genocide because you're scared it would otherwise happen to you, you're still a Nazi. The Jews in the Nazi party in the 1940s were not victims, they were just Nazis.

  Don’t worry - the Terminally Online Leftists will change their tune from “It won’t change the election” to “If Palestine gets genocided by Israel, it’s only fair minorities in the US are genocided too”.
  
  That last bit isn't really a fair characterization. We don't have to invent things people will say. There are already enough voices in this dialog.
