If we want to red pill people, we have to put ourselves in THEIR shoes. We can’t ask them to think like us or put themselves in our shoes.
It’s like this old joke:
Bob goes on vacation. He asks his moron brother to take care of his cat. After a few days on vacation, Bob calls to say hi. The moron brother blurts out Your cat is dead.
Bob is beside himself with grief. And he chastises his moron brother for breaking the news to him in such an abrupt manner. The moron brother asks how he could have done it better.
Bob explains Well, for example, you could have told me the cat was on the roof. The next time we talked, you could say the Fire Department is trying to get him down. The next time, you could say the cat fell during the rescue and was in the veterinarian hospital. The next time I called, you could say the cat succumbed to his injuries and passed away. That way I would be prepared for the bad news.
The moron brother says he understands. Then he adds, Oh, by the way. Mom is on the roof.
So yeah, you can’t tell them that Mom is on the roof, but you have to break it to them gently. Hitting them in the face with it is just too much to absorb at once and when people can’t absorb something, they are going to reject it. Remember, most of us here on the Q threads have been here for MONTHS. We didn’t figure all of this out overnight or accept it overnight. (A good thing to remember when we are faced with a noob/troll. Are they trolling? Or are they just being smacked in the face and trying to absorb it all?)
You are wiser than I. True. True. Thanks for your wisdom.
That joke was in “Capricorn One”. I was laughing when I recognized it.
