How long till DOGE sues Meta to drop the 'book' part...

Eat the rich, bury their bones, grow a better world

How about the 43% of us who are somehow PROUD about never reading a book

Because it is written with an ulterior motive to support abhorrent ideals and values

And I've had a lot more setbacks than successes, my aunt isn't the only one I've been working on but she's the only one to make progress.

Don't give up! There is a hopeful future at the end of all of this if we can just get 10% of them to understand

Over the months the amount of shit from that instance has convinced me they have zero value or worth, among others

I mean, ymmv, for all I know their ideals may resonate with you, but for me I am more than convinced it is a proper choice.

On reddit, 2/3rds of the time I spent there in the last few years has been blocking people to curate my engagement

Lemmy makes it so easy, I don't have to do it one at a time now.

So my procedure is thus: after the 5 rancid comments in a day from users of any given instance, I go and browse the instance. If I keep finding unchallenged rancid replies, then fuck that instance. Lemm.ee has been on my radar for a while now

I've had small success with my aunt by focusing on her love of children, explaining how many are dying under the needlessly cruel boot of Israel

From what I have figured out:

1. They need to already respect you in some way, this does not work on random strangers unless you are a top tier communicator or public figure

2. You need to identify the levers, for my aunt it is babies in danger. It will be different for different people, you need to do your homework

3. INFINITE PATIENCE and consistently reiterating your own genuine respect for them (this can be hard, you may need to dig deep), you need to show them that they aren't your enemy and that they have been lied to by people they have trusted for nefarious purposes

4. Play on the rights inherent distrust for the elite, Muskrat and co ARE the elite! Look at what he's doing to medicare!

5. It will take many, many sessions and you CANNOT falter or get impatient or it gives them an excuse to dismiss everything before

It's not easy, it takes time and effort, though it is doable

Thank you for reminding me to block lemm.ee with your sad propaganda

I'm sure she is but a hole's a hole

That's actually pretty valid

There are few people alive more worthy of eternal hellfire

This your first round in front of the firehose of lies?

Best guess: Russia is a paper bear that need to keep growling before the bookworms eat it
