The best strategy for winning converts requires that we stop debating altogether. If there's a debate, there's a loser. If you're just sharing beautiful ideas, everyone wins.
I know you're on the same page, but I'm not just being pedantic. This mentality is really important to stay consistent with if you want to be effective.

All excellent points. For me it was clicking on the video" how to join anonymous in less than two hours" I think that's what it was called.. It ended up being a video by larken Rose. A switch flipped in my head and now it's the only truth that makes sense to me anymore. Most people unfortunately are like that so they have to be handed the switch unknowingly or they won't flip it. Any time you challenge what they believe is truth they will never admit they were wrong or rarely anyway. We have to look at the machine that feeds the masses now and feed them better food but from the same machine at first

That's an excellent point. I know it might not seem important to a lot of people, but I believe that semantics plays a large role in how we interpret data and draw conclusions from it.
We need to co-opt a mind controlling advertising guru to help us find the perfect words. haha!

When I feel like I'm starting to lose them, I'll go back to emphasize our common ground and rebuild my arguments from there, trying to draw parallels between issues we agree on and issues we disagree on.

Excellent advice. I recall seeing Adam using this type of strategy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv9u6Eh8wHs
It really isn't a "strategy," though. It's empathy! Empathy is what bridges the gap between delusional altruistic statism and truly uncompromised nonviolence.
