Ngl I've been getting the same weird vibe from them for a while. Particularly when the questions are framed as "is this thing that we generally support actually bad, or maybe not?"
Talk to them about good political news as well. When all you hear is "everything everywhere is terrible" it's easy to just tune it out. Successful unionization efforts, protests, progressive legislature.
I prefer mocking them and making them invoke death threats towards me
This sounds extremely unhealthy.
While we're here, what is your opinion on the movie Resident Evil: Extinction (part 3)? When it came out, the mainstream opinion basically was that it had ruined the whole franchise, poopoo dogwater. I personally quite liked it as a standalone movie, fun action film.
Edit: just rewatched it, still a banger. It's surprisingly woke. And big queen energy all around, women get it done.

Evil guy: "They're animals, essentially. We can domesticate them if we can take away their baser instincts. They would provide a basis for a docile workforce"

Leader of the convoy to the people she picked up: "We have a decision to make. And it's too big and important for me to make for you"

"Climbing the Eiffel Tower with a high-powered rifle. A few years ago that would've caused a stir"
If it makes you happy. I was just thinking that it's not a good way to change anything, so I don't see the point in bothering beyond "nazi detected, opinion rejected".
Don't take it the wrong way, but the op in the screenshots could definitely chill a bit. That type of venting would never make anybody go "you know what, you're right actually".
It's the curse of being a leftist. I walk past a coffee shop and think about how there are no third spaces left to hang out for free. Because they were systematically destroyed, in order to separate the people into individuals, and at the same time commodify their leisure at ever growing costs. How there are so many people working miserable jobs in those coffee shops, jobs that we don't need in the first place. About the chains that have swallowed all the individual businesses that could've been of higher quality, had better working conditions and pay. About the bench outside with extra railings, so that the unhoused people couldn't sleep on it. They're forced to sleep in designated "bad hoods", from where they will eventually be kicked out by ~~pigs~~ filth so that their hoods can be gentrified. And all those freshly gentrified hoods will have tons of empty condos that would never house even one of those displaced people...
Then I smoke a joint, watch some cute animal videos, and forget about it until the next time I walk past a coffee shop.
That's what peak revolutionary performance looks like.
