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: βThe 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. Iβm concerned that our government is involved in making these innocent children suffer. It is a problem we can all agree needs to be addressed. Letβs go see what it is all about together.β
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.

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.
