I encounter people here and there who are victims of rightwing propaganda, and they'll spout out some things that I know are probably wrong but I don't have any specific knowledge about so I can't say much. So I look it up when I get the chance but it's way past the conversation so it's too late to say anything. I'm not sure how to deal with these situations, any thoughts?

I recommend watching episodes of the "Alt-right Playbook" series on YT, it's smart. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJA_jUddXvY7v0VkYRbANnTnzkA_HMFtQ

Underlying advice, understanding how "they" think helps you navigate the dialogue / rhetorics at play. I'm not saying you'll have interesting discussions with "them", but it will alleviate frustrations

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
