Let's talk about what I didn't talk about and a way to reach people....

[Presenting contradictory information to someone with a closely-held belief will trigger uncomfortable cognitive dissonance that makes them reject outright because it flies in the face of what they believe. Don't give them new information.]

[The truth cannot be told, it has to be realized.]

[Whataboutism is proof that people believe something is true across all systems.]

[Talking about the specifics of the situation will cause them to be rationalized by slogans and talking points. Talking about comparable situations in other places clarifies the principles so that they can come to the conclusion on their own.]

[Instead of talking about this conflict, talk about indigenous land disputes in the United States, about police excessive use of force in Black communities, about journalists being censored, talk about military action requiring concrete intelligence before pursuing a target in Afghanistan, talk about how South Africa was a strategically important region for imperialist powers, talk about how funds for military power are better directed towards schools and hospitals, talk about how security clampdowns only strengthen the resistance, talk a out how miners have made concessions while being on strike.]

[Those who are in power benefit from slogans, not from context.]

[I'm on the side of the civilians.]
