Pretend you have one hour to convince a random normie that the mainstream media is propaganda rather than a collection of well-meaning, objective journalists who sometimes get it wrong but overall try to deliver fair and accurate reporting.
If you fail, you die.
What's your approach?
It's a stupid hypothetical for several reasons but I'm very interested in this topic and I'm curious to hear your thoughts, so I'll ask for a pass on the overly dramatic scenario.
I'm guessing the most common response will be, "It won't work no matter what you do", and fwiw I think that's correct. But for the small group who can be reasoned with, what do you think is the optimal approach?
Exactly, people can only change their own minds. So at best you can help them identify you as an ally or an enemy based on their preexisting beliefs. If somebody is on the fence, you can try to make them think you mean well and have good intentions, but that's about it. You can't forcefeed people the truth if they don't want it.
