If somebody isn't willing to entertain any of those options then the threat isn't real enough for them.
This. We need to come up with ways to make people experience the threat, not just learn about it. Ideally experiences that either traumatize them or directly impact their lives.
Maybe invite a friend to go for a walk through a diverse neighbourhood, and ask them why they're so uncomfortable there. Not so traumatic (unless you get lucky and find yourselves in a self-defence situation) but it will at least make them feel something, and self-reflect.
Any other ideas? This could be a discussion post.
I agree, people need to bring the danger of tomorrow into their current timeframe to wake up.
That said, if you're at the place where you see genocide happening you're in a 0.5% group and nobody around you gives a shit enough to wake up to it. So, in a sense, the won't listen no matter how hard you tell them. Pearls before swine.
I am preparing myself to be able to do what I have to do and getting out of the system. When in Rome do as the Romans do ... when in Sodom, prepare for fire and brimstone. My recommendation is to start preparing your ark, because it's going to be technocratic dystopia in no time and you'll need to learn to stay invisible if you're going to avoid the gulags.
It's not meant to be a negative response, just being honest. But some of us will get through this. The rest of the cattle will just do what their smartphones advise them to do.
