If genuinely trying to do this seriously tho, the best approach is usually a dialectical one, you do your best to account for both their ideology and material conditions to figure out if they have the right incentives to be a comrade or not and then if they are make a good faith effort to meet them where they are to radicalize best you can.
this phrase irks me so fucking badly. what a fecklessly liberal thing to say.
The revolutionary optimistic way to look at it is as a genuine question that we can answer
If a lib asks, we answer and maybe we make a new comrade
“make it make sense in a way that doesn’t trigger a defense reaction from my ideology”

If they’re just trolling, drop a PPB and move on
“What’s your ideology?”
Whatever you want it to be sugar ;)
Sick, revolutionary Marxism-Leninism then, we can talk theory over our preferred vices
To a point. This Reddit phrase is thrown around far too often for people seeking an actual answer.
For sure, but the person asking isn’t the only one who will see it online, still a vector to radicalize
Sometimes they really are the only one who sees it. Radicalization via an internet comment is greatly over exaggerated here in this echo chamber.
Not everything is a teaching moment.
That’s true and fair, but also if you stop looking for opportunities you stop finding them
I mostly try to radicalize in person, I don’t use much social media outside of this anymore tbh, but the overall approach is the same irl or online
make it make sense without disqualifying any of my core beliefs
The math doesn’t math!
I hate that phrase too.
