Yeah, I've learned that when you work with people you have to take them where they are. At least they have banded together to do this. The vulnerability of humanity is that they have been largely indoctrinated and groomed to gravitate into cults. Like dogs seeking alphas and like livestock seeking shepherds they outsource their power, cognition and adopt self-destructive mindsets propagated by their enemies. Independent research and thought will keep people out of all cults be they political, religious, celebrity worship, etc. Just align to objective reality and you can never go wrong.
Brilliant that you have a Repair Café established at least and we can start there. A lot of times people suffer from what I call, AIDS (Acquired Information Deficiency Syndrome) and if they open their minds, you can remedy this with well sourced links or videos that expose the "Climate Change" war campaign against us all. You can also shine by influencing others by being your best and unique self and expressing your thoughts that people gravitate to.
Objective reality? Sure isn't that heresy! Everyone is entitled to their own truth these days.
As to shining, I'm one of the shiniest people I know!:)
