I’ve never known anyone on the far left to become self-aware, regardless of what’s going on in the world. I wish I knew how to show them the truth without their brain shutting down.
These people thought the last 4 years were like living under Nazi Germany and thought that Obama was the greatest president in history. How do you break that “religious” conditioning? The faith they have in the deep state is so deep that it will literally break them if they ever open their eyes and see who they’ve been supporting.
This election at least allowed me to red-pill some people on the right since they really couldn’t explain all the insane amounts of fraud and political backstabbing happening.
It can happen, it happened to me, I've been slowly waking up from there for 20 years. Have hope for them. It's our job to support them
Just curious, what was the tipping point?
I think it was Iraq 2 and the dodgy dossier and the murder or Dr David Kelly and Robin Cook MP (IIRC) My mind was already quietly working on 911
I would have guessed cerebrovascular events.
20 years is longer than a week!
Yep, they are going to have a headache!
I still have hope that they can wake up, I just don’t know how I can help. I’ve never succeeded in my attempts. I thought that with Trump in office we could find common ground on how corrupt the government is at least, but not even then.
They are sheep, they have to hear the dissenting views from a few people they trust and they weigh it by number of personal sources rather than ny evidence. It'll get easier as the percentage of awakened people talk to more, then it'll reach a threshold and tip to our favour. Training people to think critically is best, but I don't think there is time for that initially, and too much cognitive dissonance and investment in existing mindsets.
Weird - this is word for word what was said at the mandatory BLM anti racism training session where I work. Talk about cognitive dissonance...
I was on the far left for years. When I was a teenager I was a Marxist. When I went to college in my early 20's I was an anarchist. Since discovering the rabbit hole 3 years ago I am as right wing as you can get.
It can, and does happen.
I just wish I knew how to help them see it all faster. I was pretty far to the left after high school, but always had an open mind and empathy. I slowly switched to becoming more republican over the years before my first election, but I didn’t get my true red-pill until this election.
Now I see both sides for what they are and it depresses me that I played along for so long. The American people need a massive red-pill.
I’m glad we’re both here now though!
