I like what Jim says, but is he contesting?

Thanks man. I'm also deep in blue territory so I totally get it. I honestly think lockdown helps them use news and social media to control the narrative because they don't get the chance to meet other people who might disagree.

I think it is not always easy to get liberals to engage with the Socratic method, but my main point is you want to increase your chances and I think this strategy works more when it can work.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks! I agree that there is probably a lot of good information on how to talk with people in other areas and cult deprogramming is certainly worth looking into. I especially like Never Split the Difference by Christopher Voss who was a hostage negotiator and now teaches deal making. I also suspect some of my ideas for this video are actually drawn from my ehem purely academic interest in The Game by Neil Strauss from before I got hitched.

Hopefully goal post moving and what about ism isn't something you have to deal with using the Socratic method but my initial thought would be asking questions like: "what proof would convince you that ____?" Or in the what about ism case, just turn the question on them and ask "why do you think that would disapprove what I pointed out earlier?"

I'll certainly look into addressing higher level concepts more in future videos.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I used Descript edit the audio and had to record some parts that didn't sound the same. And some parts I probably would have recorded but I was more focused on getting something out than it being perfect. I agree that it should get better with time.

The opening of the video is obviously a little different then how I would talk with people but I can see your point that it is a little contradictory to my main message of be nice. I was going for a bit of humor but I think it is good for me to stay on message.

There is definitely more I want to get into and talking about logical fallacies is indeed interesting.

Cheers

The likes of which this world has never seen before. Trump definitely has aces up his sleeve.

Agreed. This won't happen. We will either win legally, it through a fight.

I work in recruitment. I don't ask for a candidate's political leanings, but if you bring them to work and try to force them on others, that is not ok. Using pronouns in an interview is clearly an expression of your political view and there is a good chance you will push that shit. No thanks.

Huge if true. Either way, we are going to see some shit in the next few weeks.

It is also a great point that this is DNA altering to create proteins your body will then fight. You are basically creating an autoimmune disease.

We can't be mad that people got duped. Be mad at the media and the people pulling the strings. If we want to get people to switch to the light, we need to be welcoming and open. This is not the right message.

I'm meta religious. I believe that all religion is an attempt at understanding God. Christianity is the best manifestation of this understanding but there is value to be had from most religions. I happily observe most Christian holidays and will go to church from time to time. My view helps me disconnect from any of the corrupt religious leaders out false followers. I simply see that as the perpetual battle between good and evil, light and dark. The important thing to understand is that all humans have good and evil inside them, but that does not make the importance of seeking to understand and have faith in God any less significant.

I have a family that is like that. Best thing to do is connect with them about other things and be clear with them you want to steer clear of political conversations. Do not throw away your family because they got brainwashed by the media. You are their best chance to get red pilled, but you need to be slow and build a good relationship on other things before you can do that. Trust me, it is not worth fighting with them or throwing them away.

You know the actual racist proud boy who makes all the other proud boys look bad? This isn't as bad as that, but it sure is similar. You might not realize it, but there are those of us who want to focus on the important things and win hearts and minds. Stuff like this doesn't help. It's just click bait for people who already agree.
