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.

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.
