What does "falling for it" mean in this context?

[โ€“] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Believing Rojava was a progressive project (not a CIA/US Military operation with a mask), attacking Assad, supporting Bernie, supporting AOC, Supporting Hasan, Supporting Zohran, Supporting the DSA, Supporting Democratic Party entrism as a tactic, attacking Russia over its anti-imperialist war, believing Hezbollah and Hamas are fascist, supporting color revolutions in Iran or Hong Kong, etc...

Many people, a sizeable majority on this site, at one point or the other held one or more of these opinions. They need to purge themselves of their liberalism, and stop falling for this line of thought. They will fall for the next imperialist war, and they will fall for the next soc dem stooge.

Most have come around on most of the opinions above to the correct principled stance eventually. It took them a while, it took them years of being proven wrong by reality to adjust to finally admit they were wrong. But then they do it all again the second a new topic comes up, instead of learning and adjusting their entire worldview that led them to the wrong conclusions. If you ever held one of the opinions above, and you find yourself defending the "succ" side of things with much the same arguments as you previously made, stop and smash your head with a hammer a couple times. Maybe it will scramble things up for the better, it seems like something isn't working as is.
