If you could, how would you deprogram an extreme liberal? (links.hackliberty.org)

How would you approach persuading a far extreme liberal toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

Lemmy has failed the test.

(92) Conservatives bad hissss

(-55) Liberals? My, but how do you define them?

Fun experiment anyways

Did we fail the test because we're wrong, or was the answer sheet wrong? Maybe we say conservatives are bad not because of some hidden bias but because conservatives are bad.

I'm not a huge fan of liberals either but anyone with a brain can see that modern conservatives are anti-intellectual hate cult retards who think that truth is dictated by consensus and proclamation, and they deserve to be as unpopular and ridiculed as they are because they had decades to prove that their punitive ideological approach works and they failed horribly.
