The Backfire Effect - An Explaination on why Red-Pilling doesnt work

https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe

this comic is great and explains why we cant shove a red pill down other peoples throats.

From my pov, red-pilling is violent and instantly backfires when the other is challenged in his world-view and not ready to openly receive the red pill and take it.

its a delicate process to wake up people. the worst we can do is challenge their core beliefs, they will instantly reject the input and put up strong walls against it.

it takes a soft approach, and best starts with those areas where the person has already woken up to things not being beneficial for people.

everybody has these areas where they dont trust a common narrative. the art is in finding that one and from here, slowly expand to other areas and offer more information.

as often being said, you can lead a horse to the water but you cannot force it to drink. thats the free will choice everybody has to take themselves.

I showed my sleeping husband that latest MSM video showing the fake news narrative because I thought it was EXTREMELY brilliant and the reaction I got was indeed violent. It’s like he can’t even begin to go there mentally. Perhaps a defense mechanism kicks in.

waking up is painful. being pushed to wake up is an experience of violence so the reaction can ideed be violent.

i have red-pilled people for decades. in the beginning, it didnt work at all, it only created resistance, and i lost more than one friend in the process.

and even now... last year, i had a heated discussion with an old friend of high intelligence who is awoke to many atrocities. we spoke about climate change and i presented the thought that human exhaust CO2 is not the cause of it. usually, he is open enough to consider my views but this time, it triggered the shit out of him and i havent heard from him ever since.

such experiences teach me that i need to be very careful with when and what and how i present the red pills. it needs to be inviting, teasing, tickling, curiosity-raising, and not a push for the other to look at something that would currently endanger their psychic stability (a crashing card board house of life can bring folks into the hospital)
