This is what kept me from socializing in high school nothing anybody said meant anything, so I just read by myself.

I'm super expert influencer

except im for real and not making it up like u guys

i have a cult following

If you have decently high verbal iq you can influence a lot

In college I socialized more, but with a purpose.

But I tend to be shocked at how low the overload threshold for people is, especially spending so much time in these circles

cool story bro

One or two new ideas, artfully presented, and most people are at capacity

Minds blown

@TheUserNameofPeace logic overload?

New ideas even

ie ones cutting against the cultural programming

ideas challenging them

yeah, indocternation takes time

triggers defenses not capacity

@Anointed_1 just remember never to relax. You have to perform forever.

soemtimes even if they argue with you, that shit stays in their head, 6 months later you hear them repeating the same shit you said in the arguement

yeah

its unironically a lot of work

to maintain a cult following

what are you guys talking about?

I went hard with a boomer not long ago

influencing normies

He came at me one day with some stuff I talked to him about months before

He came with passion (which I like)

But I was shocked

He had built up strawmen versions of everything I said

*everything*

lol

He reframed everything into the mass media version he'd been indoctrinated with

I actually give merit to emotional iq too
Reading an audience and such
Being able to see yourself from the second and third party

So I brutally forced him to state everything

And went line by line with him

i can always hear the media brainwashing

"No, I did not say that. I said this. This is not the same as what you said. Here's why"

He struggled

tbf we are brainwashed too

He almost cried

Everyone is lol

Voice was breaking
