Business idea that I’m working on:
Home appliances that are as analog as possible while being efficient.
My washing machine doesn’t need wi-fi.
My stove doesn’t require a subscription.
My fridge doesn’t need to have a screen shoving ads in my face.
And all of them should be trivially repairable.
I know there are enough people who have guns pointed at their printers in case the printer develops an attitude; I’m certain there are people who would go for this.

seriously one of the most incredulous things is learning not just the philosophy but the neuropsychology around the idea that love defeats hate, compassion conquers pain.
hate and pain addle the brain.
they literally impair one’s cognition.
those who choose to inflict pain can’t visualize anything other than pain centred actions. ironically, by discarding pain tactics, one is free to move in ways adversaries can’t. it’s cool. :)

“Actions speak when words barely whisper.”
If an antizyganist (I have visible Roma ancestry, but am not part of that culture or community) were to hurl slurs in my DMs, they would be shocked and puzzled when I ask with sincere curiosity why they were throwing rubber grenades and hoping everyone scatters.
When I don’t respond with anger, hate, rage or disdain, it causes a fault in the code of their brain. Being a living SIGINT is fun ;)

That’s why I get creative with delivery ;)
It ain’t easy. It’s also why I’m working on making the methodology easier to understand for any who want to engage in #derad.
Toughest part is helping others who embrace this nonviolent methodology have the insight that previous nonviolent folks who Got It have had, as best as possible.
Compared to that, guiding a TERF out of her transphobia or an incel out of his misogyny is hella easy.

My framing of #derad focuses on pain & agency rather than good, evil, or the many masks pain wears.
Fear, hate, bigotry, shame, all are masks worn by pain.
It’s a step away from the moralistic & ineffable and closer to the physical & tangible.
We all know pain. We all know pain sucks.
We mostly know that pain is a damned good liar with amazing marketing.
Not as many know that pain is also unintelligent, unimaginative, boring and predictable.

Simple and actionable?
Ok :) Challenge accepted.
Here’s Step Zero of #derad. It’s meant for those who want to engage in #deradicalization. That it’s the same process one guides those who ask for help through is totally coincidental.
One can choose to inflict pain on others and self.
One can choose to recognize all humans as equally human, even me, even you.
Choosing to not inflict pain and to view all humans as equally human, not a bad way to live.

You stumbled across half the secret right there :)
Deradicalization requires those engaged in derad to recognize all humans as equally human, and to engender that same recognition in our adversaries.
To my thinking, the archenemy is pain through its façades of fascism, hatred and bigotry, not the fascist, the hater, the bigot. I’ve seen what happens when one kills the bigotry inside them. The bigot is killed. The person remains.

Thing about my process is that it’s neither novel or unknown.
My process is inspired by Daoism, Dharmic and Abrahamic religions, classical and modern philosophy, psychology. But what I do one can find in myths, in hagiographies, in biographies, in holy books, in epics and stories over millenia.
I can even explain why “love conquers hate” in terms Sun Tzu would appreciate. (TLDR: I know the enemy, I know the adversary, and I know myself. Hard to lose that way.)

To counter indoctrination, actions scream when words whisper. This requires understanding the untruths of the indoctrination and demonstrating the concepts lack veracity.
I approach bigots with quizzical curiosity. Ask why they choose to inflict pain on others and self, break their scripts, allow cognitive dissonance to hit and give an opening for my kind words to land. Shocks me how often that leads to moments of clarity and asks for guidance out of cultlike orgs.

Clueful people and clueful works surround us.
The moment one realizes the answer key has always been in plain sight is revelatory.
The real q is how one chooses to react to blistering insight. Some are in awe, some are enraged, and some laugh like hell.
