One of the things I've seen is normalization of their "enemies". Seeing trans people, muslims, jews, foreigners, feminists being just normal people.

In the right wing bubble all feminists are "crazy" so when they meet people that just are, then that can crack the worldview.

Depends, I guess.

If someone is a full on Nazi, dont waste your time, punch.

If someone is being a piece of shit in public dont even tell them their wrong or debate with em just tell them "Hey you're being an asshole", aim for their ego cause its rarely socially acceptable to be a piece of shit.

If someone is offhandedly bringing up righ-wing rhetoric, consider if you have the energy to show compassion and think you are able to have a calm conversation with them, break that loneliness and isolationism the right deploys. If you dont have that energy, hold on to it for the next time you see someone on the pipeline.

Also its gonna be hard, but try to not get too combatative. It might push them deeper down the pipeline.

I'm all for punching Nazis, and calling out assholes to make them face up to their actions. We've only got so much energy to use, and deprogramming is a long process for some people.

Also no conversation I've had online with the right or the left match tbe conversations you'd have in person. Like online people on the left wanna group up into their tiny little cliques and in person its always more about the nuance of each subgenres style. So i figure talking to the right in person is also more effective than online.

This is all anecdotal, I've had a couple of friends and people I know be taken off the pipeline. Its a process, you gotta pick your battles carefully.

If you want a real chance; you have to convince them that their real enemies are the billionaires who are lying to them. They hate the oligarchy just as much as we do, they just think that the terrible things being done to them by our oligarchs are actually the fault of immigrants or trans people.

I don't; that's not how minds change. I argue with them a lot and maybe over years they'll get it and credit themselves. Nobody ever says "gee that's a logical argument so I agree with you now."

Start with discussing empathy. without that the rest won't happen.

I'm not an evangelist and it's not my place to persuade them that other people deserve equity. Make it impossible for them to exist openly as Nazis in society.

Also, this liberal clearly didn't "convert" or he'd be taking personal accountability and asking for forgiveness instead of placing some of the blame on his victims

Damn leftists, they ruined leftism!

Painfully accurate!
