I hear you, I've spent way too much of my life in online leftists spaces and it's tiring and frustrating trying to decipher trolls. I don't think there's anything wrong with directing people to resources but I do think we should give some benefit of the doubt. And also be realistic how much value we get from only sitting behind screens reading theory.
To give you a real world example, I was heavily involved with the PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation in the U.S.) and we would often get refugee Bernie Bros after the 2016 election (I was even one of them). Many of them came with ideas of Socialism being plowing roads or universal healthcare or whatever the topic of the day was. Many of them would scoff at us when we told them about """real""" Socialism, for lack of a better term, but many were open to the idea. I've had many great conversations in the real world with people from all over the political spectrum.
I think the most important lesson I learned is that online it may feel like you have a big impact when you really don't but in the real world it may feel like you don't have any impact all but you really do.
Hope that makes sense!
This is a good reminder for all comrades who push baby leftists out of spaces because they ask basic questions or still hold some lib values. None of us were born with a copy of Capital in our hands (except Lemmygrad Mods). We need to be a fostering and open community for all who will listen. After all, is that not the entire point of collective politics?
