A small, steady stream of dissidents is already on its way out at all times.

They usually take *themselves* out. It& #39;s not bc somebody rescued them. It& #39;s bc they had the resources/lack of attachment to leave, & had developed the critical thinking to navigate their own way out.
It& #39;s also such a small number of people as to be effectively meaningless most of the time.

People keep trying to persuade/rescue white supremacists bc it hits their savior complex gspot, not because it& #39;s effective. Anybody who leaves was probably already on their way out.
Trying to "rescue" people through "persuasion" is pointless. Conservatism is such an obvious house of cards, it& #39;s wild that the secular gentrified white left really thinks it& #39;s about "beliefs" at all.
It& #39;s about social standing.

Full stop.

They& #39;re super experienced in the practice of huge, personal ideological shifts!
And it just kinda says a lot that the ex-mormon reddit& #39;s motto is literally

"We& #39;re not here to convince you the church is wrong. We& #39;re here to support you when you figure it out yourself."
