Let them know that they’re not alone in their paranoid ignorance.
“Here comes Hillary Clinton, you better get out of here.”“That’s right. It was me all along. And I’d do it again.”Revealing yourself as the grand architect of the conspiracy is one way to potentially earn this person’s undying loyalty to you.“Yes,” then you’ve done your best and should move on.“Welcome To Tucker Carlson Tonight.”“Snap out of it, Margaret, you’re being hysterical!”Scream this while slapping your loved one repeatedly across the face.
You forgot you’re even more gullible than the other person and have no choice but to slowly come around to the idea that the moon landing was performed on a soundstage.“Okay, but how can pedophiles exist when children do not?”“Welcome to Burger King!” Hey, you’re just doing your job, and you have no idea this guy is gonna start ranting about who the real “king” is.“That’s not what I read on Facebook.”“You have that hundred dollars you owe me?”No harm in a quick experiment to see exactly how suggestible they really are.“I’m going to lecture the fuck out of you.”
The proven way to get people entrenched in conspiracies to change their views is to scold them to their face and preferably in front of company.“I’m pretty sure that’s the plot of The Sandlot.”a conspiracy theory about a beastly dog that lives behind a fence and eats baseballs and children is a fanciful story plucked straight from fiction.
