Igor, first off, thank you for the shoutout :-) I am honored to be in the company you list.
The problem you describe is one I am acutely conscious of. As you probably know, many of the missives I write (e.g., Letter to a Covidian (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-covidian-a-time-travel), Letter to a Colluder (https://m…
But how to reach those people as they are unlikely to wind up at my blog? To my delight, some people have started tweeting my letters at colluders, Covidians, and the scientifically-minded but deluded. I don’t do much on social media besides share my posts, but I have proposed hashtag campaigns such as #LetterToAColluder and #LetterToACovidian. I need social media maestros to help bring this to fruition, though.
Regardless, since my pieces often address Covidians directly and contain a massive amount of research/resources, people can easily wield them in exchanges with family, friends, and others they are trying to awaken. I can provide the tools, but it’s up to my readers to help deploy them.
I will also be launching a new series detailing my exchanges with Covidians on a private platform and the lessons I’ve gleaned from such attempts. Although it seems futile at times, I do believe I am reaching the silent swing thinkers who may be eavesdropping but not diving into the wreckage directly.
Would you like to write an article or what WORKS in talking to regular people who became zombified, wear three masks, proud of being vaccinated, and so on?
I think you will never reach those types. Estimated 30%. Talk with the 40% who have at least a smidgen of open-mindedness and ability to think critically. One huge challenge is that A LOT of people (including many highly educated) trust "authorities." They need to learn "trust but verify."
*lol* I’m still trying to figure that one out ;-) I will be writing about what I learned doesn’t work by observing the failures of others (e.g., ad hominem attacks) and the techniques I found enabled me to engage in respectful dialogue with the less rabid Covidians as well as the more aggressive tacks I took with the belligerent ones.

My entire mission is to unmask totalitarianism and awaken the sleeping before tyranny triumphs.

I agree, this is spot-on.
I think maybe that phrase needs to be amended to “verify before trusting” these days :-)

Try to talk to a few regular people and let us know your findings
