Daryl Davis converted over 300 KKK members by talking g to them. Ghandi also comes to mind. There was also Jesus....

People have absolutely changed the world by being kind, forgiving, and talking logically.

Did anyone change your mind by being dogmatic and unforgiving? Because it seems to me that it's that exact behavior that's had an opposite effect on you.

It's not really about being "nice" or being "mean". It's about having solid ideas and being firm about them and explaining them well.

I believe that if your ideas are good, you will convince people to your side, whether or not you take a meaner or nicer stance about it.

I share your feeling, I didn't get any vaccines during the Plan-demic either. And I decided to go wherever I had to go, they tried to manipulate me, and they tried to prohibit me from entering markets, banks and other places, but I continued with my thought 💭 that that was useless, and that they would soon stop bothering me about vaccines when the majority agreed and that's what happened.

I see t-shirts, etc, all kinds of crap, with "be kind" on them.

I have the same thoughts. Like you were "kind" and "thoughtful" by wearing a mask, to protect people. But in reality you were participating in a world-destroying alternative reality.

The truly righteous people never EVER put on a mask. I knew some of them.

They weren't "nice". But we need more of them. (For what it's worth, I'm not one of them).

I don't know too much about Ghandi, but what about Ghandi?

I strongly disagree, we need to be able to explain our views to people without resorting to dogmas. Our arguments need to consider context. If we want people to just follow dogmas, they will get misunderstood and then it's too late for people to think for themselves.

I already see this with a lot of common bitcoin memes. Dogmas are for NPCs.

I have nothing to add. This is solid. And 100% confirmed by our experience in Argentina. Milei says it straight and clear: the left is a terrorist mob that will breach every conceivable boundary in order to fulfil its sole purpose in life which is to destroy you. Leftists are untreated deranged people. So, you can't reason with deranged people and you can't negotiate with terrorists. You don't concede anything to terrorists. You defend yourself and leave them no ground.

It's as strictly literal as it sounds. Period.

Not even Jesus Christ!

YES!

My kind of shit.

Take no prisoners, no forgiveness,

"The people who ruined the world CANNOT understand what it takes to fix it."

They do, there will be always a moment in their life who they will face your actions, words, behaviours...

How about not being nice just because it's "the right thing to do".

Do what you think is just. Regardless, our closed ecosystem will eventually try to snap back to balance. Bees in a hive do not all agree on what is the ideal temperature of the hive, but the variation will always remain within a channel.

Don't think it's gonna change without a big revolution.

Jesus, Mother Theresa.

the manner in which the truth is projected makes no difference on the validity of truth.

writing in all caps and red text, or beautiful standard proper english black-on-white cursive, screaming or whispering, still makes the message true.

the satanic lying propaganda usually tends to be pleasing to the eyes and ears, with fun tones and pretty colors.

feelings in response to the message are ephemeral, they do not last. i am not buying the validity of this message - "people will always remember how you made them feel." people usually make stuff up on the fly when asked "how did you feel?". feelings cannot be accurately reproduced, they are a purely physiological reaction in the moment. the type of response to the same message usually changes over time as well.
