I got this idea from a comment made by rooftoptendie. For those of you who considered yourself leftists but had an awakening and now are on the right, if you would, please tell us about your conversion. What made you rethink your stance? What specific things happened that caused you to become redpilled?
It would be interesting to hear your stories, to try to understand the mindset of a leftist and why they believe and think the way they do. But it may also be very helpful in giving tips to those trying to redpill their family and friends. Thanks if you choose to participate.
Well part of the reason I believed the MSM lies was because that's all I had access too. I moved into this shitty little apartment in the barrio and didn't have money for internet. I had a smart phone but I had a data plan and most of that was spent on calls and texts. I didn't have cable or anything but the hospital my old lady worked at did. I would go pick her up and watch the news. The Chinese food place did, the place my boss sent me for a pick up did. The breakroom had a TV. So it was all around. I took it with a gain of salt because I couldn't seriously imagine a man like Trump being a Nazi. In order to make that work I had to come up with a scenario in which it made sense. Like maybe he belonged to some kind of Secret Council of Supervillians sort of thing.
Another thing that contributed to it were the people I was around. Like I said my "good friends" had joined the military. We're talking about folks that I had known since kindergarten. Farm boys, poor but close knit families and christians. There weren't a ton of jobs in the area so most of them had no choice but to serve. That leaves the worst kind of people. Especially when they all coalesce into the city. It becomes an endless feedback loop of weed smoking, college educated hipsters who believe everything they hear. They need the group think. They were the kind of people who sit around on social media all day and wonder who's party they're going to go to on the weekend. Alot of them have a 7 day weekend.
These are people that say they want to be your friend but then talk shit and plot behind tour back. They were insistent that christians were optimistic cavemen. They would mock me for brining up why I believed in heaven. They would mock me for smelling like grease after a shift so I could pay my way. Then they would say they're my friend and ask me where I was on the weekends I couldn't get off. They want people's acceptance because it means they get free shit and false praise. I've always been a pariah of sorts anyway so acceptance doesn't interest me. Deep down I think that's what really got me into Trump. After he was elected he was America's #1 outcast/rebel. He was kind of like Robin Hood. Obama is a fake renegade. Obama still has his high powered friends. He hasn't lost any of his rich buddies that bank roll him. They all toast champagne and bugger each other then figure out of to off one another afterwards.
Meh. My bad. I'm rambling on again but I'll break down my main suggestions.
Get them out of the feedback loop of liberalism. Figure out how to get them away from electronic media and get them away from their little liberal wolf packs. This whole liberal social order was designed to reinforce bias. It's designed to slowly outcast people for wrong think after they've been humiliated mentally, socially and emotionally. Those are the things that a person looks for in friendships and relationships. Liberals know this and exploit it.
Get them to go somewhere they've never been and tell them to look for a job. They'll look around and find it impossible. When they bitch explain to them this is the new liberal dream. Alot of these people have it nice. Mommy paid for the college they could play around at and daddy could get them a job at the call center when they flunked out. They don't have to get by on their own merits. If they did that would be a different story. Tell them to really look around their environment and ask them if they really think giving up thier future and their kids future for social video game points and momentary social acceptance is really worth it. Is impressing your professor who hates your really guts worth ruining your kids' future? Is schmoozing the government for a hand out really worth personal stagnation?
Tell them it's ok to be a little selfish in time and demeanor. Life is not a holier than thou contest. I think liberals try to prove that you can be a good person with out having God but next thing you know they're stealing shit at someone's housewarming and beating women. They do it to try and work you over. That way they can do the "agree to disagree" thing and still have a couch to crash on. Tell them it's ok to be upfront about hating hating people you disagree with. I tru to be respectful when I first meet people but I talk so much mad shit on people to their face when we disagree. These people know where I stand. That's real respect. I'm not going to run them around I have better things to do with my time. If they don't like it I'm not going to suck back up to get what I want out of them. I'll just go to my apartment and figure out how to be a better person. I don't need them like they need me. If that makes me an asshole then why are you missing me?
Alright. Thanks for the suggestions!
