empathy is important, people falling down those rabbit holes NEED to know that you their loved ones will be there for them when and if they leave

but empathy must be paired with a hard line. "No I do not believe this. No I will not debate certain things. If you cross this line we no longer talk."
I think this comes from a good place but I disagree. A common thread in deradicalization stories is stigma: Once people start losing friends and jobs they reconsider their beliefs.

Obviously you should try to be nice to people but you also need to draw a line where you won’t engage anymore.

Narrator: It was at this point that the entire BtB/Cool Zone Canadian fanbase turned on Robert Evans.

Insert something about Canada and the Geneva convention and canned food here.
for the record i would support an invasion of Canada if our goal were something noble and humanitarian, like ending poutine once and for all

create as much as you can, record yourself as having been here in as many formal and informal records you can, the system that erases cultural memory is powerful as hell and the only way we can ensure a multigenerational book of knowledge is to leave as many clues as possible

I cannot emphasize enough how much the ability to think flexibly will matter as we enter a completely different era in American society.

If you base your predictions, plans, and actions off what you know about the past you’ll be often both wrong and endangered.

Think creatively. It’s key.
