Do you think anyone is changing anyone's mind with the hateful political propaganda they post every day?

Rarely.

Hateful political propaganda mostly reinforces existing beliefs rather than creating true change.

Real influence comes from dialogue, credibility, and emotional intelligence, not noise or fear.

Those who share hate often reveal their own biases more than they sway anyone else.

It's crazy how people think you can bully someone into changing their views.
You're calling them stupid and want them to be your side too. It's even worse when you claim you're the good people in this. They don't see it, it's just a bunch of hypocrisy that they're not falling for

sometimes you can successfully debate somebody and use facts to change their mind.

Yea but we're talking about hateful political propaganda here 🙄

I do not see evidence of change. Just a massive reduction in the hateful political propaganda posted by My Contrarians (you know who you are). I have a list of them. There silence is cognition. They are out of breath, ideas and narratives. Maybe their hate has burned them out.

In certain select circumstances I've had people here change my mind or at least make me pause and reflect. The one who does this the most is usually @exitseven

He can be a misguided propagandist but he's well intentioned and at times has been much better informed than me.

I am lots of fun at parties too.

He does balloon 🎈 animals!!

The left-wing nut jobs are just producing a paper trail to be used against them at their trial.

Honestly, not really. Most people posting that kind of stuff are venting or trying to prove a point, not inviting real conversation. Minds usually change through calm, genuine dialogue, not anger or online shouting matches.

[aceleon]

no they just make them cling to their beliefs more stubbornly.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “Hateful” or who exactly you’re referring to. Can you be more specific?

[Kelley1]

Obviously, or else they wouldn't be doing it.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I don’t think changing minds is the point

[beefcakebradybatson]

Nope.

[Anonymous]

I don't think so.
