With this red pill stuff, I spent a lot of time trying to talk people down from this, and now I'm done.
If someone has values that align with dominating others, values that are zero sum, values that pit one half of humanity against the other, values that align with a world where half of humanity is discouraged from having autonomy... I can't fix them.
You can argue and debate, and exchange data points until you are blue in the face... and I have. But it won't change anything. If someone has fundamentally ugly values, if they think that their existence is about having domination over others, if they are okay with the subjugation of others... I can't fix that. And I'm not going to try any more. I’m just going to keep them away from me.
