Part I: Fundamental Realities of Handling People as a Dissident
This may well be the most important portion of this guide. Please read it if you read nothing else. Without a doubt, as someone who thinks outside the prevailing globohomo paradigm, you have differing views of reality from your average classmate or coworker, even if you align on certain other beliefs and practices. This should not bother you—it is a good thing. It means you are thinking, and active critical thought is a core engine of dissidence.
It’s also hard work, even if you’re some kind of savant. Whether you are conscious of it or not, critical thinking takes energy, and expending energy takes a toll on you. Like push-ups or squats, you have to train your mind before taking on too heavy of a subject, lest you irreparably injure yourself or just give up and go back to the couch and TV. The average person that cringes at all the programmed sensitized thoughts cannot jump right into the topic of government funded trauma based mind control just like they cannot squat 300 lbs. And you should never expect them to!
“If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.”
In everyday interactions, it never serves to reveal your true power level, especially if unsolicited. (And if solicited, hi Agent Mark, you sly dog). You’re more likely to stir up a visceral reaction against you than identify someone likeminded or change a right-thinker’s mind. This point is even more important when it comes to someone expressing their opinion.
“I cannot believe what Hamas did. Israel should just kill every Palestinian—the Jews deserve a homeland” someone says at some “social” event you’re attending. Another inquires, “did you see that cop gun down another black guy that didn’t do anything? White people have to stop slaughtering blacks.” When you hear statements like these, whatever you do, do not construe them as invitations to discussion. They are programmed expressions of ideology, not icebreakers. They are designed to be repeated and agreed with by reflex, not engaged with. These kinds of remarks should sound as wasps buzzing around you, and you are allergic. If you must participate in such interactions at all, simply shake your head either yes or no to agree and say something along the lines of either “that’s so true” or “damn that’s crazy.”1
If you were to question their opinions, it would almost invariably be received as criticism, and a simple reality of people is that no one reacts to criticism well. Now, the above are extreme examples, to be sure. But they serve to illustrate the point. As Dale Carnegie explained in 1936, the secret to dealing with people is by understanding people’s fundamental want: the desire to be important. In our alienated and rotting society, mass media’s programmed sayings give people this sense of importance on tap. As a result, a great number of peoples’ identities are tied together by little more than soundbites with seed oil as glue.
As dissidents, we’re no different on this basic desire, and we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be under any illusion about it, either. I, for example, am writing to you to feel important just as you, dear reader, (and do forgive me for presuming) are reading this to feel important. Please do not let me be misunderstood. Why, sure, feeling important isn’t the chief purpose of the exercise, nor should we go about doing this or that simply to feel important at a base level. But when we look to our stated reasons for doing anything, underlying them all will usually be that fundamental desire.
I write as an outlet, for the enjoyment of expression and creation, among many other beautiful and lofty things I could tell myself or others. You likely read for the enjoyment of entertainment, education, and/or reflection. And this is all quite good. In fact, these things are important in and of themselves. And at the end of the day we do the things we do to feel important—and we have been doing so ever since eating the forbidden fruit of Eden. Rest assured that the enemy understands this intimately, just as they have from the beginning.
We should keep it in mind as well.
The people we interact with on a daily basis, whether strangers or familiar, are human just like us (most of them anyway). So the next time you hear someone say something like “children should be free to have sex changes” or “white people don’t deserve to have a country but a certain other chosen people do,” whether its from someone in public, or someone you’re already well acquainted with—understand that they are under that opinion because it currently makes them feel more important than any alternative in some way or another. If what you are trying to say does not fan that flame, then you are just blowing smoke up both your asses. Only once you understand this, can you begin to make a good-faith effort that has a chance at awakening someone.
But even before that, there is another important step that cannot be skipped which we will cover in Part II. People have to like you! Not as much as I like you, my dear reader, but they’ve got to like you more than dislike you. That is certain.
In closing, the fundamental realities of handling people as a dissident are:
Be aware of people’s weight class when it comes to dissident thinking.
Never try to engage with someone on a controversial topic in any way other than rote agreement unless you just want trouble.2
Understand that people’s opinions make them feel important.
Now that we have these truths fresh on your mind, we’re ready to make some friends—both sheeple and people and all in-between!

In very select social settings are we still free to do a little good ole face to face trolling. However, with the ubiquity of cell phones and growing fanaticism, this is shamefully becoming less and less of an option all the time. Even in places you’ll never be again, around people you’ll never see again, today all it takes is a short clip being posted online for a dox brigade to get gunned up with facial recognition software determined to uncover your digital footprint.
Subject to some discussion of possible exceptions we’ll have in Parts II and III.
IME you can't tell nobody nothing. Unless they ask, even then it's iffy.
Sarcasm and humor have some effect, but they don't like you for it, generally.
Sometimes you can say something 'dissident' to a person more than once, only to discover later that their programming is sufficiently strong that they have reverted to assuming that you share that programmed opinion.
