Devil's advocate: social engineering dictates sometimes making an outward agreement with them, their morals and their opinions in order to create a common ground and manipulate them into trusting you.
It's very powerful to be able to find common ground with people you despise, because if you are good at it you can get them to divulge a lot.
It’s also actually one of the best red pilling strategies.
If you come out swinging as “that conspiracy guy/gal” then you’ve effectively ended any further ability to converse or relate. People will feel threatened and retreat to their corners where they can spread their ideas without challenge.
But if you take nuanced stances and appear to agree even when you don’t, you can find yourself in a much better position to impart logic and rationality long term.
Also, being able to understand opinions you disagree with to the point that you can make their arguments as well or better than they can, is a powerful way to make sure you fully understand each issue.
Sometimes it helps you check your own biases, or to make sure you’re on the side of truth. If nothing else, it helps you stay steps ahead of them and is a critical part of playing 4D chess.
Rush Limbaugh used to say he knew leftists better than they knew themselves. And he did. That’s a powerful strength to have.
Who was the guy interviewing him? He seemed to agree 100%

Underated comment. Very true.
I miss Rush Limbaugh.
You are correct.
Been watching police interrogation interviews lately -- you get more info out of them if you pretend to be sympathetic.
Another pedophile. We’ve normalized crazy…so now they think it’s their right to be crazy.
