One can’t “discuss” anything with a leftist. I gave up describing why I didn’t take the COVID shot and drink raw milk. They cannot understand why anyone doesn’t think like them.
Every day since I've been adult I have absorbed the lessons of the socialist/communist/dictator 'events' from the removal of guns to the gradual erosion of elections and finally the resultant totalitarian states.
I've heard the voices of the immigrants that are detailing and documenting their witnessing of what happened to their countries.
The hard facts are that there is no 'free' lunch, yet.
The problem is the zero sum game being played.
The Rulers are not accountable to anyone.
They play Divide and Conquer layered over Bread and Circuses.
There is another strategy as advocated by Feargus O'Connor Greenwood in his excellent book, 180º. He quotes James Clear: "Be kind first, be right later." Easier said than done for sure, but if the goal is persuasion—that will probably work a little better than your method—and mine at times.

Like minds! Let them eat the soy!🤣🤣
No, don't bring up the weather with a leftist. They'll just start ranting about climate change.

This is why I just call these people names and insult them out of the gate. Dont give a fuck.

Humble and correct advice I no longer attempt to heed on the internet.
An American setback watched and did nothing to stop it. How disgusting.
