I agree that that is the assumption of the Left about the right. However, I've found that the NPC programming is reinforced by sophistry and rhetorical warfare. When you deviate from the narrative, they push you into the narrative with claims of bad faith, reframe your opinions into the narrative, and argue against those opinions they just made up. Sometimes they'll literally try to trick you into saying a trigger word so they can call you a racist, and when you don't say the trigger word, then they claim you are refusing to say it because you caught them out and you are trying to hide it.
Getting into these verbal conflicts is a struggle because if you do debate or argue with them, they'll engage in sophistry and be defensive the entire time, but they also don't want to know any other opinions, they just want you to affirm theirs. This is why it seems like "show don't tell" is basically the only way to actually have an effect on them, because it negates a verbal confrontation entirely.
Which is how you reach points where Hitler and Nazis are unironically getting redemption arcs in the modern era, for one example.
I swear we're gonna see a genuine National Socialist state in or around Ukraine within 50 years, and it's because of the shit we are doing right now.

It is. I should say most of those tricks only work offline, wherein the setting is more personal and you have control of the social pressures. Online people have completely different faces, have the ability to call in backup, and genuinely feel more emboldened in their propaganda.
Arguing with people online I find shouldn't really be done with the intent of changing minds, because even if you succeed the programming will just seep back in the gap you created. Its entire purpose is to shore up your own abilities and find where people can pick it apart, so that way when you take it offline you are far more prepared and knowledgeable about how someone will respond.
But offline, the effects of a non-aggressive stance, warm eyes with contact, and a low voice can make the question "well why do you think that" actually incredibly disarming whereas online they'd just scream back about how Men are all rapists or Niggers Niggers Niggers.
Its all basic Psychology. For as worthless of a "science" as it is, they have completely gotten down how to get people to open up and give you their weakpoints to tear them out. Its how they are so effect at brainwashing women into transing out, leaving their husband, and figuring out they were "abused." But they give these tricks away for anyone to read and they are just as effective in real life as they are in a counseling session, likely more so because people don't expect them.
And really, its just reappropriating the Lefties own tactics against them. Or even Cult ones, because even schizo lunatics realized the power of isolation and love bombing people on changing their brain.
