Wow
That is impressive
By explaining that they define shit so broadly that it puts me in danger
And others like me
Do speeches ever work
Like
Fact presentations
That happen to touch the topic
"I have a dream" shit doesn't work, and raw statistics isn't ideal
Make it all personal and localized
"This is how this could affect you or someone like you"
If they don't agree and aren't actually interested in understanding your view that's just going to bore and annoy them
Present your ideas from an empathetic standpoint
The left wing narrative right now is all about targeted empathy. Divert the course of the river
I don't think there's any one real answer to this question. But deeply understanding their views and how to properly explain your own is probably the most important thing to it.
Lile making class speeches about class shit that happens to touch a topic. Just drop a kernel of truth there. And there. And just kinda show them all the facts with credited science sources they can check by themselves.
Can such a scheme work
I am in Cali I remind you
It is hard to maka just a speech with a 180 opinion
Most of the far left regressivism sounds like it makes sense and is morally right on first viewing and that makes it a very awkward sort of thing to counter
Nobody wants to be publicly humiliated, so they'll fight you harder
I actually was kinda supportive of the left like 2 years ago when I was 13. But I looked into that shit and just realized how dumb it was
Convince individuals, and keep them in mind when you try to convince them
I flipped from moderate left to ancap when I was 15 or 16, then slowly ramped back to libertarian
Can such things happen to others and can I influence that happening and not have a direct convo about it
And that was prior to a lot of the sj nonsenae
Nonsense*
I would say you could try bringing it up in class once you know the lay of the land and have made some progress
There's a lot of dumb shit on both sides. Sadly it seems like most of the active and vocal left is currently the one spouting the dumbest shit. I still consider myself pretty solidly left leaning in my thinking despite how much disdain I have for the modern left itself.
I am a Libertarian
You've got a lot more work to do then lol
That is the right I think in this political hellhole
And left are dipshits
Basically
Not exactly Authoritarian
Bit dipshits
I would try to eliminate that kind of thinking
If you want to convince people
I think most people here are pretty heavily libertarian in their values, though I don't think there are than many that identify with the current Libertarian party
I find most people are big govt when it suits them
