@GingaBomber I still worry that I can't get into their heads, though
Cant let the trump voters are antisemites narrative die
The feeling I get is as if there's actually a large body of presumptions that differ
The strat is to go after the undecideds
i agree
By discussing with the extremists
Oh, believe me. I rarely speak with anyone about anything of consequence without running into a clash of axioms.
I'm not necessarily trying to convince extremists
I'm of the opinion that you solve problems by truly understanding their nature
I have opinions on the nature of this particular problem, but never feel as if I _understand_ it
I see, that makes sense
i agree
@Bookworm I'm familiar with that, but usually I can pinpoint them and understand their appeal to the other person
Honestly theres people who leave the understanding to another
Even if I don't find it appealing myself, or have other experience/opinions that lead me to reject it
Its like the ones who say socialism is good because they trust their teachers
i agree
Not because they studied it to understand the nuances of the system
Which id argue is the essence of the npc meme
So Sayoc is in prison for being too close-minded and being so stupid he sent bombs that didn’t even work to public figures
Is that the supposed magabomber?
@Xombii Rubin? Is that you?
I respect your approach, velvitonator, it's similar to Daryl Davis, the black man who befriends the KKK.
Also to Robert deniro because he’s a bad actor
Just some random looser somehow intelligent
i totally agree
The problem, I think, is that Daryl has way more in common with the KKK than I think you have with the far left.
Lol
He does more than I ever could
Daryl is a nice person and enjoys things normal people like
Music, beer and bbqs
i literally agree
Pol is just as much of a box as anything else
I argue you only turn away hate by being better and caring.
Just keep it inside
If they refuse just dont interact.
And well the cognitive dissonance will do its work
if i agree with everything no one can argue me right?
Now the problem is most kkk members are just.. members. They dont usually make it their own identity
Daryl's stories on that front are really interesting
