Would anyone be interested in learning how to make better arguments in support of Q?
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I believe it could really help in convincing normies.
To clarify, I'm not trying to criticize anyone or present myself as a great debater. I just see a need and believe this is the best way I can contribute to the group.
Objective: To help other Anons improve their arguments, which could assist in persuading skeptics.
How:
- Identify common logical fallacies and explain how to avoid them.
- Provide practice opportunities by role-playing as a skeptical normie.
Please let me know if you're interested and feel free to contribute your own tips and insights that you believe can help the community.
Avoid subjects that don't matter much, like "Big Mike", except as jokes, or at most, mild speculating. Do not get invested in those, much less actually argue about them. Yes, I know I tend to kind of keep repeating that particular subject, but it's something everybody knows about, and yes, it's pretty meaningless in the big picture, and no, you don't have any solid enough evidence to convince anybody who isn't already ready to be convinced, so I think it makes a good example.
And stuff like that doesn't really matter. If it was proven without a doubt that she is a he, what would that really matter? You'd get maybe a few people to whom it would matter, most of the people not your side already would not care, a lot would just admire Barry and spouse more, and without a doubt the Obamas would get "proof" that Mike happens to be one of those rare true intersexuals and everybody who dares to disrespect her and her preferred gender because of it is a mean bully, and since most people dislike bullies you'd also lose some people.
So, avoid subjects like those. Except as memes and for making jokes about.
Concentrate on things that might mean something to the normie you are talking with, or trying to reach. Lets say people who care a lot about environment. What might get to them? Most people know that windmills are a danger to birds and bats. So, tell them how worried you are about that, and give them numbers - ones they can check on sites that are not obviously political. Solar panel fields, stories like that how the environments vital for some endangered species have been sacrificed to get more of those solar panel fields put up. Desert tortoises, cut down old joshua trees... there are plenty enough examples if you look for them.
Human rights? How about child slaves in Africa, or political prisoners in China, used to dig for the rare earth metals necessary for electric car batteries or those windmills or solar panels?
Black communities in America? Historical examples might help a bit. How those communities, even without full rights, seemed to be doing better as groups before they started to get certain types of "help" from the Dems. Wonder it that, well-intentioned as it might have been, was maybe a mistake. Talk about Operation Paperclip or Gladio, how CIA seems to have used drug trade to finance its other black ops. Again, don't push, try to pique their curiosity about those so they might look into them themselves. And go through their feelings.
Wouldn't the idea that a lot of people who have used at least some drugs during their life - because they saw it as a rebellious act against organized society they were convinced was somehow bad - were actually fooled into that by some shadowy part of that same organized society, and were maybe actually supporting some organization like CIA through their actions, make those people at least somewhat pissed off?
Don't try to make them "turn" right away. Give them reasons to doubt what their preferred politicians are telling them, and how what they claim as good for the environment or good for human rights isn't necessarily so, or might even be worse for their favorite subject than what the "evil right wing" politicians like Trump is trying to push.
Start with things like that. Only then start to talk about something like Q. First just as how something like that was what made you personally first interested in looking at Q. Try to keep it light. NEVER tell them that they are wrong or stupid or anything, or argue about it, just tell them, mildly at that, how you feel - and yes, feel - that there is something to it. Or maybe something to it. Keep it light unless you are dealing with people you have already had arguments with, so that they already know for a fact that you are an anon.
Look at things that do or will affect their personal lives. Rising prices and such. Again, keep it mild. Don't push. Just talk or reminiscence or wonder how things at least seemed to be better during Trump's last term.
Ask questions from them. Try to get them to explain something. Do not push Q, just mention how something that seemed to fit what Q said seemed to later to happen, or be proven. Wonder if there is something to it (again, when you are dealing with people who don't know you are already fully into it yourself). Try to make them curious enough to look at things themselves.
When it comes to normies, you can convince only the ones who are already ready to be convinced.
The others - you can get at least some of them to that point, when they are finally ready to be convinced, but most times you can't argue them there.
You have to seduce them.
So try to make them curious. Give them questions they want to find out about. Show them that you maybe care about the same things they do - environment, human rights, whatever - but you aren't convinced the wokes are right about how to actually make things better, may even be doing things that while sounding good are doing more damage than good.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to write such a great post! This is really helpful. Several good ideas to go through and think about. Great high effort post.
