Everybody in Germany. Please talk to family members that you don’t talk to about how this is dangerous to you. I know I have these in my family that I should invest in instead of always talking to the closest ones. Also make sure to beat them with genuine questions that break open their confidence in the reasoning with the socratic way (epistemology)
What? Belief.
Why? Reason
How? Method for Proof
Or
Identify Persuasion
Question “What is it actually”, definition
–In between ask for scale 1-10 how confident into the topic are you and importance queries
Why do you believe that?
How could one determine whether this is really true?
–In between the scale and importance queries
Best argument for and strongest argument against?
Reflect, i.e. repeat what has been said in your own words

It’s not about being well versed in the topic of conversation
But good questions
Totally. Good one is showing genuinely curiosity on AfD solutions problems we face. Believe me I met some who could only name Migration when I asked, for example, about AfD solution for tenant issues and tenant protections.
As we have relatives in the USA a good one is also Trump and the republican regime. Talking Elon Musk endorsement of the AfD and their endorsement of Trump, whom the people here dislike as well. So I’m just telling them to catch up with our trusted relatives from the USA and how they’re doing with the current republican regime…
With some however it’s just so pointless to discuss in my opinion. Best to keep calling out the lack of serious solutions, stirring up of hatred and Climate change denial. There are enough cognitive dissonance, economy incorrect conclusions to call out.
The YouTube Video “Fascists will only waste your time” argues in-depth why arguing with them will not work. I can recommend watching, if y’all have time to spare!
The best strategy is to engage in genuine conversations.
Most people just label the unknowledgable as stupid and attempt to desperately convince them with a bombardment of facts and counter-arguments. Even worse is just calling them “Nazi” and leave it at that. This is futile with some people who have gone down too deep into the hate-train of social media. They will immediately mentally blockade what you’re saying and the cycle continues.
It’s way more effective to get into a friendly conversation and actually engage with what they are saying. Listen. Ask questions. Listen. Ask questions. Understand why they believe what they believe. Be open to their arguments, however rediculous you might find them.
The most important thing you need to realize that it’s not their fault and they are not stupid! They are just the output of their environment. Everyone has emotions. And everyone deals with them differently. Everyone has their environment. And everyone sources their information from that environment. Everyone has parts of their lives where they are misinformed or less educated than an expert in the field. You too! Consequently, the way to change someone’s belief is to change their environment while understanding their emotional basis.
and everyone is at a different stage in their life. If i’d have to talk to 10-years-ago-me I wouldnt agree with them in beliefs that are still held today pretty commonly
