Unreal. I basically raised the kid. Sad times. Didn't even drop facts. Just asked several questions. She wants forced vax, but I'm the one shoving an agenda down her throat. Clown world.

I also have not spoken to my best friend of 25 years for nearly a year. He has blocked me on everything. All I did was show him evidence and ask questions. He told me I was sick and condoning murder (this was in relation to Kyle Rittenhouse). I tried to show him evidence of him being shot at, and of course chased and gun grabbed, assaulted, etc. I wasn't being obtuse in the slightest way, but very gentle. I just wasn't seeing how "incredibly evil Kyle is. Among the worst white supremacist mass murderers ever."
I've learned a lot about how to present evidence since then. I wish I could go back and do it differently. It is very difficult to get past the programming without violent reprisal.

You really had blue hair, large round glasses, tight torn jeans, striped multi colored socks, with an army of bumper stickers on that 175K mile Subaru?
That's the spirit!
Repost :- It will be the atoadaso decade! (A real shitrope for the woke)
No global warmer, vaxxer, LGBTQ activist, Biden pimp, polar bear simp or mask faggot should ever be allowed to offer input on science, anthropology, climate, politics or medicine, ever again for all time. Personally or in policy.
They were on the wrong side of the most historic turning in humanity's history. Period.
Edit:- Also, it's refreshing and uplifting and somewhat rehabilitating of my faith in humanity to see someone who is as cunty about this as me.
*Note:- I am the kind of person to say "atoadaso"
Have you told him that Trump is going to be reinstated? I would try to tell him now, because when he does get reinstated that will make you look like a visionary. NCSWIC
What would you have done differently in presenting evidence, if you don't mind?
You can't tell a hostile audience the truth. You can only show the evidence. The best way to show the evidence is with minimal narrative. Asking questions in earnest is much more powerful than making statements. Asking guiding questions Q style, with implication is also powerful. Injecting biases as questions and/or stating your own lack of certainty within that bias leaves the door open for an otherwise hostile viewpoint to give their opinion. The knowledge that they will be heard, that my mind is not closed to what they have to say, gives them license to listen to what I have to say. Once you close the door on the opposition, the opposition stops listening. It's taken a fair bit of time to develop that skill, and I am far from mastery,.
Here is the first part of my report if you are curious. I will be rewriting it based on feedback I have received from non-GME people. I will do that after I finish the second part, which should be a few days. This version has too many specific references that only the GME community will get, though I think the larger picture is clear, while being very normie friendly. The rewrite should remove all those GME specific references and create an intro, ending, and a couple internal motivators to make it more engaging to a common audience.
