I would note that the graphene os team has issues with F-Droid from memory, for security reasons. I use f-droid, but its best to be eyes open imo.

Theres only one good way to change someones mind over something that they have become entrenched about - for example politics, but anything where the reaction is a no rather than a what.

And thats to listen to everything they say, and ask the right question at the right time, a gentle interjection, something that nudges them to question something themselves. At somepoint they might even ask you about you perspective, and you need to give the right kind of answer.

Its slow and painful, and for big things it takes years and years of work to get someone to change. But its the only way ive found to truly work.

I am going to go on a limb, since if you anything like me reading some dense economic theory written in dense academic language using words from 100 years ago, is not going to help you and you may well come away without your mental health.

I read a book called Damdest Radical and I suggest to all people who want an understanding, its not a theory book, and it wont try to explain anything to you.

Its a biography, about a doctor who fell in with anarchists, and what he got up to with his life. I feel its a good introduction, since you see peoples ACTIONS and how they LIVED their lives, you will pretty quickly see what Anarchism and more generally leftism is about.

You’ll see how people from 100 years ago tried to change their world, where they failed and where they succeeded. And hopefully you will think about how you might apply some of their ideas to problems in your life, and how you might avoid some of their pitfalls. Both at a personal level and at a political level.

It helps that the guys life is genuinely quite interesting and fun, and because he kind of fell into anarchism, you get a perspective of someone who isn’t down the ideological rabbit hole, and is taking what they feel is good about the whole thing and leaving the negatives.

Yeah the horde isnt a paid thing
