This is one of those times where channels that focus on Dem hypocrisy come in handy. As for Memeology, while we know it, I wonder if newer views see the videos and think they're over simplified and would reject them.
Tim Pool is a good news source for unthinking moderate centrists.
The dipshit friend will eventually upgrade to better sources, or never progress from there but at least won't look at media as being made of honest people again.
Once upon a time, I was pretty indifferent to the politically correct, and even agreed with them about some of their puritan pushes.
I'd say you need to find something relevant to him and show him how the politically correct will/have take and ruin that thing he loves.
I wish I could be more specific, but the best thing is to play to whatever notions he already has and suggest your viewpoint of the situation. Forcing people into a belief never works, suggesting a stance based on logic or emotion to someone usually does (the Left is really good at it, the Right not so much).
This is exactly right. Someone still deep in programming is prone to short circuiting or blue screening when confronted with uncomfortable truths or new information, so its best to discuss a topic they are already interested in and ask logical questions about it.
Point out lefty bullshit, propaganda, illogical conclusions about their topic. Then ask questions like who is funding this and why are they pushing this.
Also keep in mind which topics are harder to red pill on. They probably arent ready to hear jews are child raping demons and niggers are literally subhuman rape apes on day one. The light touch is a must when waking someone up, lest they bluescreen and then will just reject everything you say because of some bullshit like "racism"
"If it sounds too good/evil to be true, it probably isn't."
"See all this bad shit happening with the federal government? You're paying for it. All of it."
"If they're pushing for mandatory vaccination with free vaccines 'for the sake of our health,' why did Biden remove the Trump policy that kept insulin affordable?"
"Why stop the Keystone XL Pipeline 'for the sake of the environment,' if they're just going to use tankers to transport oil, which are much more pollutant?"
Which it is easy to do by trying to 'steer' him. Instead, try to give him the impression that you are agreeing with his ideas, rather than the other way around.
Definnitely a good idea from Yoshismasher22: find something he's interested in or that affects him personally and show how SocJus is going to or has ruined it. Really drive home that they don't actually care about most groups they join and are mostly there to subvert or destroy from within.
Be sure to give him a rundown of typical leftist buzzwords and phrases and go through how they've twisted or subverted the meanings e.g. Equality and Equity. Show how they motte and bailey their arguments by hiding behind the common definition while arguing with the redefined term.
A quick crash course in concern trolling, DARVO, media manipulation(cropped image/cut video), citogenesis, gaslighting, moving goalposts and other tactics they use to obfuscate, manipulate or fabricate truth. Basically, try to give him as many tools as you can for him to discover the truth and come to conclusions on his own.
The danger of an open mind is malicious entities seek to fill it with trash and slam a lid on it.
Remind him to question everything, every motive. Introduce him to moderate information that question both sides of an issue. Some have mentioned Tim Pool. He is a good starting point, even if he is foolish at times. He still expresses when he speaks opinion and bias, allowing his audience to know they can take their own look at something if they choose.
Simple, offer him a balanced view of politics offering both sides of the debate and establish a centrist position, then highlight how the faux left strawmans point of view other than their own and refused to participate in the debate or acknowledge there is any valid opposition, and how they rely on name calling and physical violence rather than rational discussions of the issues.
Never bully, never raise your voice, and come prepared. Know what is a lie, what is a half truth, and what the full truth. Keep your facts straight, and expose lies he repeats with hard evidence. The moment a person witnesses a blatant lie, their trust in that source plummets.
If he is a dude just let the SJW speak, they will inevitable go to their men-hating ways.
What it did it for me was the realization that everything that I thought good was being turned as evil:
judge people based on their character not the color of their skin
do not discriminate based on gender
let women chose their role, now they are being looked down upon if they make the wrong choice.
freedom of expression
anti-corporatism
Also the constant double standards and media manipulation.
Show them how they lie with statistics, the wage gap, fake rape statistics, how they consider facts like the FBI crime statistics per race as racist and need to be banned.
Freedom of speech is a big one, the left wants to censor it under the guise of protecting people. This is unnecessary, no one has proved that it is a huge deal. Just because someone says an offensive thing to you does not actually harm you. A much better solution is teach kids and adults to not react to randoms on the internet like they are some RL friends.
Second banning and censoring of information is easily abused, hate and offence are very subjective and it is already being abused, best example is Abigail Shrier's book on transgenderism and discussions on the topic are being banned as transphobic rather then address despite being valid points. By banning discussions on this subject it causes direct harm to confused girls.
On the topic of censorship is already political, Hunters laptop story, the origin of COVID have been censored but a lot of lies from the left are being propagated without any consequences.
The immorality of affirmative action programs was another big one for me, you have friends that are black or girls, they have worse grades then you, are not as good as you, are not as motivated as you but they get in to a good college do to their skin color or gender. You are all raised in a similar environment with similar financial situation and yet the white and asian males are going to get screwed by the system.
The left will argue that this huge problems, that they can't substantiate with evidence, like racism and inequality can only be solved by giving more power to institutions, taking freedoms away from people and higher taxes while those rules do not apply to the ideologically correct.
The same left that want to brainwash children because adults and even teenagers are already seeing thru their bullshit.
If he wants freedom then he will not like the leftist utopia.
Show him the Yuri Bezmenov interviews, also get a copy of "A Love letter to America" which is Uncle Yuri's book to show him the idea of subversion and where it all began.
Some of the people on the Daily Wire. I know its Shapiros network, but Knowles is decent, same with Walsh. They dont get into anything controversial, but that isnt what he needs right now. Baby steps.
If he's looking honestly at the world around him and finding himself agreeing with SJWs, no amount of reason will work because he is beyond reason and nicely settled in to emotional reactions.
This ends with your friend betraying you, by the way. Sorry in advance for your loss.
Rubin report is a straight forward, simple way to show him the hypocrisy of the left.
Also, Memology 101 has good, short videos that point out the left's lunacy.

Use the Socratic method:
Give an initial definition or opinion.
Ask a question that raises an exception to that definition or opinion.
Give a better definition or opinion.
Many of the other comments are basically suggesting a form of that.
First, do no harm.

The good news is he isn't a midwit, so you only need to reaffirm his natural instincts.
I'm not trying to be rude but if he's not used to thinking then he must be an idiot

If you're friend is Christian, you might go the religious route. Kimi Katiti's Easy Biblical Contradictions To Critical Social Justice easily shows that the two systems of belief are incompatible. She's got more videos like this, but this one is probably the simplest.

I showed one of these kind of people where, in trumps tax plan, he'd pay zero taxes. That got him reading.
Buy or recommend a couple of Sowell books. "Basic Economics" and "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" should suffice.

What are you trying to teach him? Also, you say he was stifled all his life, but what changed?
