I have a new note-taking system and I want to add some deboonks in there that I can quickdraw on a lib, any day, any time.

I don't want some self-satisfying /r/breadtube rot, I want the links you've actually sent to people when they say something silly.

Shoutout to the copypastas that Davel, Dessalines and Cowbee have developed.

I'd say the 3 most important things to get across are

  1. Pro-socialism

  2. Anti-imperialism

  3. AES is actually good

All 3 are useful to distill into a common collection of sources and arguments. For example, I explain socialism as a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy, and the working classes are in control of the state. This is simple, verifiable, and doesn't require reading theory to get across. The rest depends on how they respond to that.
