For those who are still unable to see it is literal insanity, at this point.
Show an awake person an apple and they see an apple.
Show a zombie an apple and they will see anything except an apple.
This is insanity; the inability to recognize reality.
The answer, sadly, is something like conversational shock treatment. Make them taste, smell and feel the apple. Let them hear the familiar crunch when they take a bite.
Child trafficking and sexual exploitation is shock treatment. It is reality so impactful that only those who condone it, or those too feeble of mind to process it, can look away. It is a visceral subject, shocking broca, allowing it to pass fully into the mind.
If you want to finally wake the zombies in your life, try discussing Sound of Freedom in a non-threatening way.
My way might be something like this: “The top movie in theaters is a true story about children being kidnapped and sold into slavery and viscously raped and tortured daily. Everyone with a soul, left, right and center, is seeing it. I’m concerned that our government is involved in making these innocent children suffer. It is a problem we can all agree needs to be addressed. Let’s go see what it is all about together.”
Buy them a ticket.
There is no need to attack. Be soft. You are looking for their acceptance of an invite to a film. The film will do the heavy lifting. The film will show them the apple for what it is.
My feeling is that SoF was held back from being released for all these years because it was not time yet for its wide acceptance. Five years ago it probably would have come and gone with a whisper.
It is a powerful tool to help break through the fog. It is the shock treatment we have been waiting for.

Most of these people are so deep in the sauce of orange man bad they won't see it. They watch msm and will tell you they're not going to see some crazy qanon conspiracy movie! Yes I know qanon is not a real thing and just a msm created trope but this is how you know they're programed because they use the msm words. Just like with the plannedemic and Ukrainian. These people will have a very nightmarish wake up and a lot won't make it.
Unfortunately you're right...
If you’re not a part of the Great Awakening, then you’re in for a Rude Awakening.
While it might work for some of them, most of them have long ago willingly given up their desire to think for themselves. If FNM tells them the movie is bad, that's what they "think", what they "believe".
I recently met a couple, one of whom was a retired teacher, complaining about Ron DeSantis and the Florida ban of certain books that had been inserted into grade school. I asked if they'd seen the books that were banned (they had not), if they wanted me to send them information on that (emphatic nope), explained that they were outright pornography, that parents were going to school meetings and excoriating the pedophile perpetrators in the education ranks. Immediate ostrich response - didn't want to know anything about the books, but held firm to the belief that banning them was a horrible thing to do and that Florida and RD were horrible for doing so.
They do not care what the truth is, do not want to think for themselves and simply want to be told, repeatedly, by FNM that they're good people, better than patriots, more caring, better informed, etc.
They are good people; that's why it's so easy to brainwash them.
They lack the skepticism that realists have.
They can't believe their leaders would lie to them.
I, on the other hand, don't like people acting like they're my leaders when they're supposed to be my employees.
But I guess I'm just a misanthrope.
But I would take a sterner look and see that they are NOT good people. They are dishonest cowards who are afraid to disown perversion. What does "good" mean? That they like butterflies and pastel colors? No, it means that they are committed to truth and human (i.e., non-predatory) behavior. They cannot avert their eyes and be committed to truth. They cannot be indifferent to child exploitation and be committed to non-predatory behavior. They would be morally grey at best, and pathetic at least.
They may be worth some sharp words. The time has come to decide for or against the truth, and against evil the truth wounds. Will we shrink from speaking the truth? Only we can decide.
I was writing my reply at the same time as you. Amen.
Reminds me of a saying: Nice people tell you what you want to hear. Good people tell you what you need to hear.
They may be good people, but I don't believe for a minute that's why they're so easily manipulated. And I hope you're not implying that realists aren't good people... "Goodness" is not why they're easy to manipulate. Fearfulness, ego, insecurity are all high on my list of suspected culprits here (at least with respect to the jabs, for example). Yes, they obviously have lack of skepticism as well. Maybe they're not even fearful, but are good people who are too trusting. They have not only a lack of discernment, but an unwillingness to seek the truth.
Take an example of a charity, call it X. You discover that X is engaged in shady dealings and has little or nothing to do with the charitable cause they're espousing. You know your friend Joe gives to X so you try to tell Joe what you've discovered. Joe likes the nice ads X runs and can't believe they're not what they claim to be. Joe continues to donate to X. You can call it what you like, but I'm not calling that "good". Joe is now supporting bad people because he's willfully ignorant. He wants to feel good about being generous for a good cause even if he's doing nothing of the sort. He is self-deluding. It's more important for Joe to feel good about himself being generous to people in need than to face the reality he's doing nothing to help needy people and is only enriching deceitful individuals. That is not "good". IMHO.
I'm not at all a misanthrope, just bone tired at seeing what always giving people a pass for bad behavior has gotten the state of the world into. When people refuse to look at the truth, refuse to truly and honestly consider all sides of an argument, refuse to admit that there's a problem and doggedly stick to their false beliefs despite all the evidence available to the contrary, we end up with chaos and worse. Like we're currently experiencing. (Rant over).
I wish I could get my in-laws to go see it. I know they won't. They don't want to know.
Tickets have been made available to them through donations, so they wouldn't have to risk spending their own money on a movie they might not like, but it might cost them a change of perspective.
Oh, they are loaded. They don't care about that. But they still believe everything on television and nothing that isn't. They seriously do not want to know. I tried to warn them about the clot shot and they are double-boosted at this point if not more. I'm not trying anymore.
And nothing that isn't. Wow that is brilliant. That's the most important part
I am with you on this point, which I have been belaboring for some time. We are up against mass psychosis, which is characterized by a disconnection from reality. The "shock treatment" is another way of saying "cognitive dissonance," where the perception of reality clashes with the conception of reality. Generally, perception will prevail, which usually means that the conceptual framework is destroyed. Not a happy time, but fully recoverable. It's better than hitting an iceberg. (I suppose some people will have melt-downs, but those are fully self-chosen. They will need a diet of Jordan Peterson videos.)
Disregard the mainstream media. This is a world in which word-of-mouth is supreme. Talk up the movie. Urge people to see it. The more who see it---and the more who discuss it---will form the nucleus of a Cultural Moment, and outsiders will feel awkward not being part of it. (There should be a pin saying "I've seen Sound of Freedom. Have you?") Especially if the conversation includes the consensus that the news media is telling a biased and fake account of the movie...that you have to see it "to understand what we're talking about." People who haven't seen it, and express opinions, should be sharply dismissed as not knowing what they are talking about.
Remember, in a polity it is NEVER necessary to obtain a consensus among a "majority". It is only necessary to obtain a consensus among the LARGEST MINORITY. Which is always possible, if you are patient and willing to accumulate member by member.
Has anyone else noticed that Christian’s are the easiest to wake up to child trafficking being prolific? Christians, by farrrr have been the easiest to talk to about this issue. It makes sense when you weigh in that we believe true evil exists and this world is Satans playground till Christ’s return.
Sometimes, to disrupt the tune(in their heads), one has to scratch the record....
I'm sorry but people don't care about trafficking. They know insanely horrible stuff happens everywhere and they are numb to it. The only thing that will affect them is an economic crash probably. They care about themselves and their family and thats it. They don't have the energy to care about anything else
And the twofer is disney takes the blame for shelving it lol
It's kind of a line in the sand at this point -- you bury your head in the sand or your revolted by the harming of children.
If they are so weak they choose this QANON bullshit to bury their head in rather than give a shit about the trafficking; they are worse than useless, I choose to ignore them.
They don't have to go watch the movie either, but once they bash it with MSM talking points, I'm done with them.
They don't give a shit about the kids I find it very easy to stop giving a shit about them and the horrible awakening that lies ahead of them.
