the cognitive dissonance when you present them with the reality of things is quite impressive tho. the only person ive seen so far realize and accept pretty fast how bad things are is my own father.
I've found that being adversarial at first while seeding an easily-debunked lie and subsequently conceding that they're "right" about it opens them up to what you have to say.
yea, persuasion really isn't all about having facts. that worked on my dad because he's similar to me and doesnt have time to worry about how so and so makes him feel. but for most people it takes time and prodding at their beliefs so they themselves start questioning things.
Yep, exactly. Sometimes, it is enough to seed the truth and let some future event "trigger" their own awakening.
I see it as kinda building the framework of the truth in their mind, so that when they wake up, it is of "their own volition", and not because we forced them to.
Less jarring for them. The ones that run away and hide might not actually be as lost as we think. Maybe they just needed a bit of truth in their lives, and truth tends to resonate more strongly than lies.

I've been at this "awakening" for over a decade.
