I mean I even got a notification that a man who works in sanitation here in NYC was apprehended by the government.
It all just seems so off. It was called a protest until WaPo and others all jumped on the insurrection term. Any suggestions to combat this campaign welcome.
How to combat it?
stay anonymous. I know your first instinct is to try and redpill people to the truth. But in clown world all you need to do is make a single mistake and talk to one wrong person and you can and will get destroyed for wrong think. Staying anonymous will protect you from the spiteful commies.
do not try to defend. Rather, attack. For example bring up hypocrisies in the media with something like CHAZ. Bring up lefties directly calling for violence and directly and blatantly violating the first amendment. Exposing Hypocrisy is usually a very quick but effective argument. Even better when you can use their own words and their own tactics against them. If someone cries about trump, don’t bother trying to defend him, just keep attacking the dems and lefties.
do not go to leftist shitholes like r/politics or Twitter. You will just get downvoted into oblivion because you cannot pierce through an echo chamber with only words. You just have to wait until echo chambers implode like what happened with r/worldpolitics or when they commit suicide (eg tumblr banning porn, or what’s going on with twitter, etc)
if you are trying to wake up someone close to you, first step should be to figure out where on the political spectrum (or compass) they are and offer arguments that are only slight more moderate than they are. For example if you talk to a center leftist, offer them arguments of a centrist. My family for example are all neoliberals who worship the dems, so my redpills mostly consist of Democrat corruption; I cannot convince them that conservatism or libertarianism is the way to go, but if I can show them that the democrats are not actually the “good guys” it will be the first step towards leaving the plantation.
a corollary to #4 is to use lefties that aren’t batshit insane as your shield. For example jimmy dore is a lefty who still believes in free speech and is highly aware of the dem and big tech and corporation authoritarianism. Use his arguments as a shield, so that lefties cannot use identity politics as a counter argument. The best the lefties will Do is just throw dore under the bus and look even dumber than usual when they backstab someone who is supposed to be deeply entrenched on their own side.
These are off the top of my head.
People on the left have be trained recently to dismiss any arguments about hypocrisy as "whataboutism". They're convinced that pointing out hypocrisy and double standards, or asking for equal treatment under the law is some sort of logical fallacy. They spout that buzzword "whataboutism" and then end the argument and declare they've won. I'm not sure what do about that, anybody have ideas?
Yep... I have to second this...
I'm had legitimately intelligent friends dismiss leftists hypocrisy as just "whataboutism"...
I doubt we can overcome the NPC programming before their entire propaganda system collapses
