The red-pilled person is in a very difficult and unfortunate situation. Having awakened to the fact that the narrative presented by the Cathedral is an intentionally manufactured lie to gatekeep power, the red-pilled person wants nothing more than to awaken everyone else.
Naturally, the first people one wants to reach is family and loved ones. The problem is there’s a good chance that these well-meaning but uninformed loved ones might not want to be awakened, particularly if they are elders who have grown accustomed to their unhealthy habits.
If you’re a red-pilled Zoomer, there’s a decent chance your grandparent is a Boomer, which means that they are generally immune to being red-pilled if they aren’t already. And Boomers — by all accounts the most entitled generation to have ever lived — cannot be convinced by facts.
When dealing with this demographic, you cannot red pill with facts, data, proof or alarming appeals to reason. You must resort to manipulation.
If you have been — at first rapidly, and then steadily — red-pilled, then you are equipped with facts. You have the truth locked and loaded in both barrels and holstered on each hip. Firing off all the truth you’ve accumulated is foolish and shortsighted. If you haphazardly blast these rounds of truth at your normie grandma, they will ricochet back in your face.
You have to keep your facts holstered because, to an uninitiated Boomer, they mean nothing.
Keep your facts — “Trump didn’t say Neo-Nazis were fine people,” “Lockdowns resulted in a measurable net negative,” et al. — to yourself. They will do you no good whatsoever. You have a more useful tool that the corporate press has already helped you understand how to use with targeted skill: manipulation.
You have to manipulate grandma in order to red-pill her. There is no other way.
The most effective way to manipulate a Boomer is to gradually gain their trust. How does one do so?
The answer is very simple: be there for them. Be reliable. When they’re in need, be punctual. When they have a problem, help them solve it as simply and as expediently as possible. Shower them with surprise visits “just to say hi.”
Offer to help with a variety of menial tasks and then unfailingly follow through. Help them organize a mess, take out the trash, retrieve mail, walk their dog, feed their cat — the amount of tasks that the most entitled generation in the history of the world accumulates is astonishing.
Make a concerted effort to alleviate their workload, and never — not ever, not even once — fail to follow through with the smallest assurance or promise. You must be the platinum standard, the bedrock of someone who is reliable no matter what.
You should also have a breezy and effortless sense of humor. This quality offers an enormous advantage, but I suppose it’s not absolutely necessary.
If you can prove yourself, during a relatively short period of time, to be reliable and punctual, thoughtful and caring, charming and funny, Boomer grandma melts into a pliable putty. That’s when you can begin to slip in the red pills.
If you prove yourself to be a person that your grandparent can rely on for anything, you can red pill them as often as possible.
The problem with Boomers (and segments of Gen-X, which is an unfathomably dope generation) is that they’ve learned to welcome indoctrination from the corporate press on TV and in newspapers. But if you can demonstrate that you are more reliable, on a day-to-day basis, than the corporate press, then you will have their ear more often than the TV.
I know what I’m talking about: in less than three years, I’ve convinced nearly an entire neighborhood of Boomers and Gen-Xers to embrace the values of anarchism. They’re not persuaded by my philosophical arguments, although they’ve heard them. No: they entertain and consider what I say because they trust me. If I tell them that a fact is true, they believe it.
If the corporate press can use manipulation to tell lies, what’s stopping you from using manipulation to tell the truth?
Boomer grandmas and grandpas have no interest in brandishing a metaphorical machete and hacking away at the fake news weeds sprouting up around them. Left unattended, they would let the weeds grow to the point of strangling them to death. You have to be the one to chop down the weeds for them. And since they view you as their helper, it’s your obligation to toss a few red pills in their mouth when they yawn.
“Did you know Israel has been funding Hamas as a strategy?”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’s their effort to ‘control the height of the flames.’”
“But … why would Israel fund terrorists…?”
If you’re serious (and you should be) about red pilling grandma, you have to use tried-and-true tactics to manipulate her. Those tactics consist of being a reliable, empathetic, thoughtful and useful grandchild. Once you prove yourself to be those things, you can begin indoctrinating her with the truth.
Indoctrination has a bad reputation, but should that be the case if you’re indoctrinating them with the truth? What’s the downside of indoctrinating someone with something that is factual, truthful, and vital to understand?
Even if your indoctrination-with-truth effort is ineffective, the worst case scenario is that you’ve proven yourself useful and reliable; someone that can be counted on no matter what. That, in itself, holds enormous value.
