That being said, you can override that protective mechanism by doing exactly what you said if you sound convincing enough. "Making up numbers on the spot to get one to do what you want" as you said. Another way to override their protective mechanism is to ask leading questions and dropping a subtle redpill here and there, and then getting them to redpill themselves via answering those questions. If you push too hard, they'll fight back against it, but if you're subtle enough that doesn't kick in.
Even if you cite a study in a well respected journal like Nature, if it doesn't fit with their worldview they will find reasons to reject it. The desire to reject that which does not fit comes first, and motivated reasoning follows. They will find some way of rejecting your data no matter how many data sources you cite.
I believe that a technique used in street epistemology could be effective. From how street epistemology is used, it's mainly a tool to get people to doubt their religious beliefs. And that's pretty much what we are facing. The first step is to open their mind to the possibility that they could be wrong. To sow that seed of doubt that will hopefully grow.
It goes something like this:
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being not sure at all, and 10 being absolutely sure with no doubt in your mind, how sure are you that your belief is true? A: 10 Q: How do you know it's true? What do you base your belief on? A: Faith. Q: I talked to a Muslim the other day. He believes that your god doesn't exist and that Allah is the one true god. He's also at a "10" and he also got there through faith. What would you say to him? Follow up Question: Is faith a reliable way to get at the truth?
It's Socratic dialog adapted to a specific purpose. I'm sure it can be adapted to weaken the NPC brainwashing about covid and mainstream media.
For example, we could work the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect into the script:
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward — reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” – Michael Crichton
Thing is, their control over people isn't complete. Their control of all media/info that a person gets is only about 85% and getting people to start questioning anything plants a seed that just won't go away. It's part of why they are angry all the time, the cognitive dissonance between the current zeitgeist and what they thought was true yesterday causes problems between the conscious and the unconscious.
Some continue in their anger and hate, always feeling bad and upset, while others, a very few of us indeed, will stop and ask why they feel this way all the time. Then they start looking to those seeds planted long ago, or not so long ago by friends/family/un-controlled media.
My point is that a huge number of us used to be one of those who believed the zeitgeist and have since broken ourselves out of it. The seeds of doubt absolutely help, though it can be difficult to trace and enumerate. Though I admit that it is a painful and incredibly difficult process to change your own programming.
This is a great point. It is also why I am an optimist despite the total war against whites having all of us play almost exclusively on the defensive.
I look around here and we have a tremendous amount of talent in all kinds of areas. The amount of IT people alone here is huge. The ranks here and in similar places keep on growing and the floodgates of those that have just begun the path via .win, gab, etc. is full of our people.
This is doable. The non white parasitic infestation grasp on power is fairly tenuous, albeit, far from easy to overcome.
That's what I try to do - plant a seed, which will then flower later on.
Haha. That Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is so apparent with things I've read in the past, I never knew there was an actual term for it.
