They use activists as well as paid members, so first impressions count.
Remember, them coming to you is your opportunity to reach them. They've been told lies about you, been told what to expect, that you're probably some closet nazi who would murder blacks or some such nonsense, and have been told you'll say anything to win them over.
It's all to get them riled up, to shut out dissenting, differing opinions.
I know it's hard, but try to be nice (or at least 'apathetic') towards them. You'll eventually get a feel if they're the kind who do it for the 'evulz' or if they're just naive, brainwashed.
Refute emotional garbage with facts. Depending on their attitudes, I either play nice, or do some mild trolling if they're feeling aggressive or abusive.
The key is to be persistent, avoid falling into the trap of abusing them (because they've been brainwashed to abuse you), because it merely reinforces, feeds that cycle.
I always invite them to provide their own facts (they often can't, it's a safe bet, and it forces them to examine the factual accuracy of what they're doing) and admonish any foul play.
>They only respect those who have something to offer them
That's a dead ringer for a psychopath ('what can you do for me?').
You might not like my attitude or approach as it's a mixture. I'll assist a person in need, but if it becomes too burdensome I move on. The problem is too many people need help (not enough helpers) and thus I have to ration what I do and where.
Excuse poor phrasing, bluntness, I tend to work solo.
>I am still very interested in researching the Therapists
Then you won't mind if I delegate a task along those lines.
Q posted this video (don't immediately watch, read my warning first):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvkXyAmG1B4
He said "Those who 'pull the trigger' seem to prefer" it. Contained within the song is likely a 'trigger phrase' (it's for conditioned individuals who have been taught to kill - think the New Mexico compound that they were eager to cover-up).
Before you watch the video, you must take the following precautions (apply them to any situation that you think conditioning might be involved in):
1) Pause the video immediately, get the song name, and logically read the lyrics FIRST (triggers often rely on a combination of overwhelming sounds or visual effects, so reading just plain text helps you 'immunise' yourself mentally)
2) Play the video once, but as you do, stop it randomly, regularly, and take a break between pauses (30 seconds or longer). This prevents trigger phrases from 'completing' (by filling the void with some other task).
3) Mentally identify key segments as you go through that are likely related to the 'trigger phrase' (usually it's the ones that make you do a double-take, have double-meanings, that type of stuff)
4) Finally, once you've identified the key parts, replay the video in it's entirety without stopping and note your feelings throughout (angry? sad? happy? how it makes you feel is part of the emotional setup).
Feel free to jot down notes somewhere, and then once done, do a write up on TTDDTOT. You'll want to:
1) Highlight what was weird
2) What phrases sound like the trigger words
3) Link back to the lyrics (as proof of claim)
4) Mention any other associations or links it may have had (more for your benefit in future investigations)
Once you know how to 'dismantle' their conditioning attempts, figuring out the trigger words is piss easy. Apply the same technique to books (simply break up the segments, take long periods between reading, end at unusual spots).
It'll be likely related to the 'Therapists' stuff.
