Its nice to be able to blow off steam here but if one of your goals is to PERSUADE more people to accept the truth then Ruqqus is fertile ground for your message. I see some very conservative people over there that are becoming disillusioned with bolshevik schemes.
But you need to do it gently, dont wack them over the head with the 3rd reich! Cmon guys, it’s not about you. @smokratez is like a bull in a china shop over there. If your endgame is to proove ruqqus censors people you will succeed in being de-platformed, but we already know that.
I appreciate the upvote. We cant always be consistent. I contradict myself daily. It is a tough decision, knowing how much to compromise. How big a tent you want to house your allies. There is a fair amount of diversity on voat in terms of religion and womens roles and pot, to name a few issues. We wont succeed if we demand absolute accord on every position. If I can agree with someone on 80% of the issues, I consider that very good.
If political perspectives can be thought of a points on a compass, approach a political discussion with an “opponent” as an opportunity to move his bearing 5 or 10 degrees in the right direction. People will reject a big course change. That is how I have been trying to think about the conversations I am having with people. The temptation to fulminate voat type arguments is strong. I try to resist it with normies.

You said nearly the same thing 8 days ago https://voat.co/v/whatever/3913300/24631890 and got downvoated to negative. Spineless downvoaters. I was the only upvoater.
I dont understand people that like to be in groups and people that change their mind.
