Back around 2015-2016, there was a lot of thought devoted to how to expose the truth to people with things like infographics, memes, and informational videos. Then it seemed a lot of that disappeared.

Is anyone still interested in redpilling new people - creating easy-to-understand educational content and sharing it on platforms like Reddit, Facebook, and YouTube?

Even creating content like PragerU videos would be better than nothing. Communists certainly haven't abandoned this; they're giving lectures and creating "educational" videos on economics all the time. Their focus on outreach and public relations is one of the reasons why they're so successful. We should be doing the same.

Too many here are demoralized and apathetic. While eventually a dent could be made, this isn't the best place for setting a proper frame like you've mentioned. It tends to be more effective on largely (larger) websites.

The infestation here is largely to blame, it seems. Many here are not what they pretend to be, thus this place is quickly becoming Voat 2.0 without the absent admin issue. Between maybe a handful of interesting people still coming here and it being a mediocre news aggregate, it's sort of okay for now, though. I wouldn't expect it to last much longer, though. As much as I enjoy them, Boobs and robitman hardly seem to care all that much.

Greener pastures, I suppose.

Totally agree. Not many new people visit here, and many who do already have their views set in stone. Larger platforms are a lot better for actually sharing content with the audiences who need to see it.

Insular platforms like Poal are really only useful for intellectual discussion, which Poal largely lacks unfortunately (although it could be worse).

Good comment btw.

As a percentage (potency) it's better than other places (like reddit), but I'm afraid you're right about this. A lot of news postings and other things but it seems the "hungry diggers" I got a sense of a few months ago have moved on somewhere else. The burning sense of a battle for self agency is not as potent as I was getting when I first joined.

I have to say though, it's nice to personally talk with the admins at least.

By the way I saw your post on the "an island will drift away" prophecy. I saw another great post that decoded the rest of it, would you be interested in seeing it?

Demoralization is one of the biggest problems in our struggle. It is amplified by the lack of perceptible change, where many start to bethink why am I doing all this... and sometimes... to whom am I doing all of this...

As can be seen in the bellow comments from and , a crucial factor is to get close interactions. The greater tragedy lies in the cases of those who already lost their relatives.

It turns out the dopamine was strong with the smartphones, likes, facebook, google, twitter, qanon and other addictions. While red-pilling requires bringing people to a cognitive crisis which allows them to unravel and shift to a new paradigm, these other places are more prevalent now and provide a re-dose of the dopamine required to stay in the cognitive bubble. Google, Apple, Facebook etc. have learned and use computational algorithms to learn and affirm biases in real time easing the cognitive crisis back to a place of addiction.

In short, all these red pilled folks fell back into the matrix and didn't realize it. When they try to red-pill others the computers and smart phones ease them back to the blue-pill state.

As I stated above, this doesn't work anymore because those environments are highly controlled. If you want to red-pill people forget about en mass and forget about those environments. Get them here (or into a more potent echo-chamber), one at a time and it will be easier to bring them to crisis where they have no where to run for dopamine. Voat is also a good place to get them to, but is becoming diluted as well.

Also, I'd say the number one way to get people red-pilled is not with memes, but to first get them to denounce all social media, smartphones and mainstream sources for a time (mute the propaganda transmitters) and then you can get their attention. They may at that point find entertainment in a good revisionist documentary or two.

This is putting the cart before the horse IMO. Someone who isn't redpilled won't enjoy Poal at all, so they won't stay on the site. And if there is zero presence on outside platforms, people won't even hear about Poal.

You do make good points about dopamine, and it's always a good thing to promote more people to go on dopamine detox. But they will never get the idea to do that without reaching out to where they are now.

It's time to start moving offline. We should still use platforms like this to create, share and aggregate content that will be useful in redpilling people we know irl.

I think there should be a presence both online and IRL, but everyone should have family, friends, and be involved in their community. If you aren't well-adjusted and successful IRL, you're doing yourself a disservice by participating online.

I agree that platforms like this could be better used though. News articles are okay, but they aren't really relevant to most people unless you can either share them on other platforms or with people you know.

I can understand what you mean in a way, but what I mean is reddit it highly censored and pushing a new idea there is like a drop in the river. Things are more potent on Voat and Poal. I found Voat, Poal and Saidit when I started myself looking for reddit alternatives. I think it was about a week until I was JQ pilled. I was never going to get red-pilled on Reddit.

This is another thing about myself getting red-pilled. I was away from the smartphone for about a year. I was reading a bunch of books on cognitive biases and was able to see things around me weren't adding up and saw a study on how smartphones are mesmerizing kids.

I think the whole paradigm shift idea (like a red pill) needs to be a procured process. For me, I red-pilled myself mostly. But the others around me that have become aware of new things got personally procured doses of information via engagement. They would have never figured a lot of it out or known the right questions to ask on their own. I think I was just lucky.

It's almost impossible to redpill someone that's afraid of dying from the Wuhan flu. They're in mental lockdown.

The normies might just elect Biden, a pedophile you can watch grope kids on video... what exactly are you going to argue with these animals about?

They follow whoever feeds them free gibs like the mindless animals they are - nay that is an insult to animals that have to find food and survive in harsh nature.

All we need to do is to save our own real human people and let everyone else die or starve to death.

Moralists. Anyone that says we are above doing that is full of shit and has no idea what the reality is. Are there lines that shouldn't be crossed? Absolutely. However, you can't always turn the other cheek. At some point you need to fight back or you and people like you will go extinct.
