This is why simply stating the facts doesn't work to change minds.

Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

The guy that originally changed my worldview to break me out of my bluepill ways didn't do it by telling me how the world works. He did it by showing me, making me feel good about myself by getting what I wanted. He was a vigilant wingman, and gave me self improvement homework to do while we were apart.

He transformed me from a Nice Guy™ that women wanted to be besties with into a man that women wanted to fuck on the first date back in 2000.

My best friend from highschool. We were 21. I had had sex with 0 women. He was close to hitting triple digits.

they aren't attacking the root of the issue. For me I believe in vaccines , but I'm still considered anti-vaxx. Any Vaccination information will be mute until you attack my distrust in the unknown.

My point is its hard to change minds until you can show them a better way to get what they want. That's what it boils down to, "Is changing my view going to give me more resources,friends,sex ect..."

It would be wise to think about how this applies to oneself on first read. Applying it to the blue-pillers and feminists straight away probably won't do much for you.

Notice my other comment. I applied it to reflect on my past self, both on how others have changed my view and how I have changed others' views, not just in that specific instance.
