I've had libs/chuds/suburbanites very confidently tell me that everyone who lives in cities would die in an apocalypse because the rural farms wouldn't, like, give them food, etc. Very obviously false if you've ever worked in rural health or rural anything honestly. If I get the chance again I'll ask why they think cities are where they are. I usually disengage or deflect right away though because it's basically a convo about zombie movies.

I swear I'm not saying this just to be mean, but the other problem is that lemmy.world is really boring. Like, actually go through the .world front page and imagine having to respond - even positively - to the majority of these posts.

The Death Panel Podcast is really good :)
How would identifying with Palestinians make you less empathetic and rush to the defense of the US?
I can't tell if you're doing "both sides", "all lives matter", or "whataboutism". Other people care about things outside of meaningless platitudes.

I sorta think it's easier to reach people in person cause there's an existing relationship with some level of trust, but people can do both.
One-page RPGs might be better for this than 5e or 5.24. There are literally thousands of them and most of them are free or really cheap.
