Had a conversation with an elderly relative yesterday about a few things. We don't agree on half the details of what we discuss, but almost always agree on the fundamentals. The Sackler opium genocide targeted at middle America came up and I called the family "one of the most horrible groups of racist jews ever." Her response? "Oh, they were jewish?" Then there was a long pause and I could see the wheels turning.
Much of the conversation was me batting aside whataboutisms and other obfuscation tactics ingrained by viewing propaganda, but I could tell the Sackler jewish and other revelations stuck.
I firmly believe our people can be saved, as in they won't stand in our way if the time comes to stand. We must treat our decieved people with compassion, and the propaganda infecting their minds with an intelligent ruthlessness.
I agree, it has to be done slowly. Facts and never enough to get them emotional. I didn't know anything about jews until I came here.
