I try to enjoy the psychological aspects of The Great Awakening as much as I can, as it is fascinating. Instead of being saddened at this poster, think about how strange it is that someone's mind would work like that and use the experience as a learning tool for YOU. I.E. You just learned that even explaining something to someone and having them agree with you, doesn't mean they won't change their mind back again. Wonder about why that is.
I find pondering these things tends to remove any anger or sadness I might have about someone's views.
Have faith and do not retreat from the battle field.
However, some people will need to be left behind. That fren is the tough part.
My entire family, who I love dearly, may not be with us in the end and I have given up directly trying to influence them. My FB page is my red pill dispenser and they see all my thoughts indirectly aimed at them there...
My main weapon is human trafficking stats over the past 16 years or so, under each administration. Pretty eye opening.
Because it's the right thing to do. I also like challenges, and care about truth more than about how I am being perceived by others.
Which does not mean that I don't choose my words extremely carefully. Figuring out how to get through to different types of normies is fascinating to me from a problem solving perspective.
So many variables to consider, far more than in any problem I've come across in my studies of so called "infinite-dimensional (nonparametric) statistics".
And I guess I wouldn't like looking back at my life only to realize that I had the chance to play a, however insignificant, role in changing the world for the better and stopping evil.
People who go back to those original ideas are experiencing cognitive dissonance. This is normal. As much as people claim to Red pill people, its only ever the person themselves that can Red pill themselves. Others can present them information, but only they can decide to accept it or not. Its the first step to learning to think critically.
Don't think of yourself as feeding pills.... think of yourself as planting seeds which will grow if the person chooses to water them with their own research and gain of knowledge.
Don't get discouraged, sometimes it can take years of gentle conversations to finally red pill someone. Some just never get it, or are unwilling....
I know it's hard, fren. Just think of how hard it is for those trying to give out the ULTIMATE redpill - that there really is a God and He's Jesus. Same story. Many, many people just don't want to hear about it. The truth is uncomfortable for a lot of people and I honestly don't know why.
Perhaps you could rearrange your perspective. Of course, you WANT to redpill people. But maybe put less emphasis on that and more on just the fact that you are doing what YOU CAN do. You are offering the information. At the very least, YOU are doing what is right on your end. Now it's up to them to do what is right on their end. And if they choose not to, then shake the dust from your feet and move on. Just turn a little and see things from that different perspective and maybe it won't be so discouraging. Good luck!
How can you not? Yes, take breaks. If you can't take care of yourself, you can't help anyone. But when you care, it happens naturally. Godspeed and blessings, fren!
When red-pilling, I'm responsible for putting the information out there in a way that's most likely to have a positive effect, but I'm not responsible for what the other person does with that information, which means I don't get personally invested in their outcome. Understanding this, I make red-pill attempts on days that I feel motivated to do so and otherwise I don't expend my energy on it.
Because it's the only thing I can do to help and Not Helping isn't an option.
I dont need verbalizations of understanding or agreement from them to carry on. That's needy and unrealistic.
I just go my own little merry way and know I'm planting seeds.
Worked for Johnny Appleseed.
And nothing can stop what is coming.
Nobody can be redpilled until they choose to open their mind. I think it's important that we present an opposing case so that people at least KNOW there's an opposing case. Even if they refuse to listen to it and want to call it BS without research. But at least they know there's other people out there who feel differently.
I thought universal healthcare was the most obvious "duh" policy of all time. Who could oppose it? I hated anybody that thought it was wrong. But ultimately I decided to do my research one day and humble my arrogance on the topic. If nobody questioned it, would I have ever even thought there was another side of the argument?
It makes me wonder if attackings peoples arrogance assuredness in their positions might be a potential avenue for redpilling them.

Just my 2 cents

Here's a tip: don't make predictions; don't datefag. Just stick to facts that you can prove. But, in your mind, think "one more week".
free will
this person saw something that was not your way of thinking and they chose to not go with your line of thinking
will I ever stop talking about MASKS and the negatives? NOPE - NEVER
Jesus believed. He died becaue he believed when others did not. Do not stop believing.
Prescription drugs, and lots of them.
