The difference is in the truth. People gravitate towards the truth, it takes conditioning to divert people from the truth. "I'm not being paid enough to live comfortably. Why could that be?":
Why do people ever go towards the second one as their answer? It takes a convoluted web of lies being bombarded on the person daily and sucked down a pipeline of outrage.
I agree with everything you've said. I've found however that some people are quite entrenched, and attempting to bring them over just pushes them further away. In those circumstances I find it better to just wait until an opening presents itself. Tactical strikes instead of a constant light shower.
