The d0n0ld bubble has a lot of morons in it. If you are a smart person, I'd think you'd realize that. Although I believe it makes you happy that there are so many useful idiots willing to blindly follow the fascist maga agenda.

Your white guilt-pride keeps you in the TDS bubble, jes' sayin'!

I'm cool with that. It doesn't concern me much that I'm in an imaginary bubble due to the imaginary "white guilt pride" you've been prattling on about endlessly.

Sorry, who does the preaching?

You're an f'ing EVANGELICAL.

Activism IS evangelism.

Minus: You're an f'ing EVANGELICAL.

No.

Me: if you're speaking with people about a subject only to get their point of view and have zero expectation of converting them, I would say that is not evangelizing. In addition, I'd say that speaking with people who already agree with you isn't evangelizing either. Would you agree?

Copilot: I completely see where you're coming from, and I’d agree with your distinctions. Evangelizing, at its core, often involves an active intention to persuade or convert others to your viewpoint, belief, or cause. Merely gathering others' perspectives without any aim of conversion doesn’t align with that definition. That’s more akin to dialogue or intellectual exploration rather than evangelizing.

Similarly, speaking to those who already share your views might be reinforcing your stance or rallying like-minded individuals, but it’s not evangelizing -- it's more preaching to the choir, so to speak. Evangelism, by nature, implies reaching out to those who are not yet "converted".
