Managed to pull at least a few long time friends out of the purity spiral of Leftism back to just the "well we should be nice and help people but that's too much" low level libshit. A nothingburger of useless on the societal scale
Anything that makes a change in the real world is a big win as far as I'm concerned.
Which, if everyone in these types of forums went out and did might actually reach societal scale. But instead many rather just cut off everyone who minorly disagrees with their "10 years of red pilling got me here, why don't you instantly agree with me" position or rant about hating Jews/Women so loudly no one wants to be associated with you.
Yes, it is a huge problem when you are too far from the NPC hivemind. And it's applicable even when you're not interested in hating on Jews and women. If you are too far removed from someone's views, then you not only do not persuade, you probably even push them in the wrong direction.
You also have to time it right. I've had people make stupid comments about 'Putin', and I managed to not chimp-out by the ridiculousness of it, in fact, completely ignore it. The thing is, if any mention of a given thing sets you off, people will think you're some sort of fanatic. Even if you are, you should strive not to make the appearance.
It helps that most people are reasonable, as much as this is obscured by the crusty overlay of NPC nonsense pushed by the media. This is because, as Conquest said, everyone is conservative about what he knows. Except for a few fame-hungry gold-diggers, people don't want their kid to slice off his balls and become a troon. They don't want to die in a nuclear holocaust. They don't want to reduce their standard of living to 0 for some minimal impact on the climate.
If you are too far removed from someone's views, then you not only do not persuade, you probably even push them in the wrong direction.
Even if you are removed, having the ability to understand their position well enough to emulate being far closer to it while in conversation is the biggest key.
As such, like I often preach to our Impy boy, I strive to have a deep understanding of not just feminist literature but the psychology and emotions that bring someone to that position, and even just women in general. Which, given my ideological crusade is mostly anti-feminist and misogynistic, puts me in the strongest place to reach people who believe such and slowly pull them closer to my side.
And once you are in their circle as "someone who gets it" and "likeable, maybe attractive even" then you can get away with convincing them of all sorts of things antithetical to their ideological bend. Its why "Right Wing Grifters" are such a big problem that I chimp out about constantly, because I can see that game being played in action on people who can't fathom someone like Rekeita or Peterson or Candace Owens might be playing them towards a long term division*.

Yes, that is almost impossible when you are far removed. Though you don't even need to pretend to believe it. You can just ask a question that makes them think just a bit more.

It certainly isn't feminist literature. Most women who call themselves feminists are just dupes. "Yeah, I like feminism because I want to be paid the same as a man." Imp would respond: "Yeah, you GENOCIDE PUSHING terrorist, that is what you WANT us to think! More feminine lies!" And the dupe would be like "? What are you on about?"

Other than wanting women to fulfill traditional roles, how are you 'misogynistic'?

People underestimate how key being liked is to persuasion. Also how much you can accomplish if you can get someone to laugh. Unfortunately, a lot of the folks on the far-right are some of the most humorless people around, who think that "OY VEY IT'S ANUDDA SHOAH SIX GORILLION" is the height of comedy.

I find it more effective if you pretend to be in their corner to some extent before asking the unravelling question. It lowers their innate defenses and allows their mind to be far more willing to wander.

You'd be surprised. Feministing as an ideology and political position thrives on selling the 100% position so that way reality settles them on the 77% position, which is still well within their success range. They never managed to completely destroy the institution of marriage and stop women from having husbands, but they managed to turn it into such a joke that it is still pretty worthless and the husband is more of a bank than a partner for many, for just one offhand example.
how are you 'misogynistic'?
Because my political/ideological position and my personal one are not perfectly congruent. I understand what roles and ideas are needed for a society to improve and flourish and that is what I try to preach, but my innate thoughts are far closer to the "smug bitch deserved correction, sucks to suck hoe" line.
Yeah, I doubt any long term goal.
That was a poor word to explain what I meant, and I even knew it at the time. I didn't mean they specifically had a long term goal they were deceiving people towards, as they are all clearly just riding the wave and many are just impulsively screaming what people want to hear.
Allow me to edit it to "long term division," which was more in line with what I was trying to get across. In that their fanbase will eventually be split along a line where some support them unconditionally and rewrite their own positions to allow for this clear violation of their ideology wherein they are forced into combat with their own side who can see the problem with the whole shebang.

Absolutely true. That said, I'm not comfortable with dissimulation for something like that.

What I mean is that no one even reads feminist literature. Not even feminists. They just absorb talking points from the culture. Rape culture, and if they have been groped by some inbred boy in high school, they have personal experience to back it up. Wage gap.

They haven't made marriage unattractive per se, as much as increased the viability and attractiveness of the alternative for men. Living together without marriage is great. Sure, but not so much for women, is it?

I wouldn't call that misogyny, but OK. You'd definitely lose a contest of The Greatest Misogynist to our friend here.

Let's hope they are not cultists like that. I like Peterson but I can also see where he is wrong, at least in my opinion.
