However, I've found that the NPC programming is reinforced by sophistry and rhetorical warfare

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.
