So when talking to people who identify as LEFT. I found another way to help with red pilling people.
I tell people the reason why I am center/right. Is because of POWER.
As you move over to the left. What you are really saying is that you want POWER to be transferred over to the state.
As you move over to the right. What you area really saying is that you want POWER to be transferred over to the people.
After I state this.
I ask them a question.
Why should I TRUST power to the state? When they can FORCE you to comply at GUNPOINT?
You cannot undo a law as easily as you think.
This tends to get them to think differently.
Triggering cognitive dissonance in them will either go unnoticed, angers them (causing reflection at a later time), or is the holy grail and their awakening moment.
It's that last one that is thr most fun because it opens up a much deeper conversation with them where minds really start to change.
The one time you get that response alone makes all the others worth it. :)
Yeah usually dissonance triggers an emotional outburst. It's a defense mechanism and they don't even understand why they're doing it.
