My wife doesn't like to talk politics, so sometimes I gently spoke to my grade school daughter about it. (Of course, gentle for me is not the same as gentle for everyone else).
At one point she said: "Daddy, you talk to me about politics but I really don't understand what you're talking about."
I pulled Animal Farm off the shelf and read it to her. Gently. (for me). Did the voices. Paused to explain things. I think she got it. Well.... some of it, anyway.
I don't know if that was the best approach. But now when she asks why I disagree with grandma and grandpa, I can say: "Grandma and Grandpa believe everything Squealer tells them."
Thanks for sharing. I wish I was raised by your parenting style. My parents suspected a lot of the Marxist bullshit, but were ultimately too lazy and bluepilled to be good parents.
Very interesting. Thank you so much for the detailed response!
I initially thought the part about using charm to get what you want was a little off, but then I remembered a saying from my culture that my Mom always brought up, "a tender calf sucks two cows", and realized that part is very important.
My parents never swore, but they never said anything about it either. I saw the f-word carved into a school bus seat and asked the driver what it meant. He told me I didn't need to know. So I wasn't exposed to cussing much until college. It has never occurred to me that I should cuss, as there are so many other choice words. My mother said her doctor could burn up nurses' ears and never say a bad word. I think you can cut someone down without those few words that have been labeled vulgar. They are just words, but I just don't use them.
I really like this idea! What other redpill things have you done?
