To be effective at convincing people, you need to get to the core of what is driving their beliefs.
A pessimist, for instance, cannot see a beautiful sunset. Not until they can learn how to see love.
It may be that their life is falling apart right now, and they feel abandoned by what were their friends, and that this isolation makes the sunset feel trivial and stupid to care about when they have real problems to solve.
It may be that they are irritated by crowds and so dislike going outside, and they reject the beautiful sunset because to accept that they cannot see it would make them grieve.
I gave us a solution for action around climate change: strong propaganda. A fight-forward message in a cultural climate that believes in its ability to win. These are things we can build, I’m just describing the nature of the problem.
Conservative should be someone who wants the law of his country to stay as it is, not be changed. Republicans are not conservatives, they are radicals.
Well, Republicans are fascists.
And, a lot of American Conservatives would think that they are exactly what you say a conservative should be. I mean, gay marriage wasn’t legal when they were kids, they think they want to regress to the society of when it was, to conserve those laws—but this is because they are stupid, dumb animals that must be corralled like sheep toward the future.
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any politic in any country that fears change as a concept. It’s honestly anti-intellectual.

Hm, this is what Nazis and Communists both said about my countrymen. The idea that fearing change is anti-intellectual… hmm… anti-abortion laws are changes too, introducing mass surveillance is also a change. Not every change is as good as you imply.
You’re really going to have to work with me to not read every comment in the most uncharitable way possible. Nothing about that first comment was “defeatist”, that’s a battle in your mind only.
If you don’t believe in the power to build, then you believe in regression de facto. You don’t get points for being pro gay marriage if you’re also anti-immigration.
I’m actually not saying this.

Change as a concept, not any individual change.
