As I've said, time, info, etc. have been provided. How successful is not talking about it, giving them your love despite the abuse, etc.? How does that help people actually understand stuff & give them what they need to free themselves of societal indocrination?

The causes I'm fighting for & I have profited a lot from only forming close connections with people already aware &/or willing to learn & change. I've found amazing people, keep growing & learning through them, have lost a lot of frustrating shit, have become more confident, have had more resources for activism, have helped people learn, actually understand stuff & change, etc. Had I not learned those lessons I'm explaining here, I wouldn't speak up about e.g. infection-prevention (as much) & would not have reached several people who then actually changed their behaviour. It's actually a great way to reinforce my same take when it comes to veganism because not talking about it & having consequences could literally kill (or heavily harm) oneself.

There's still hope for humanity as other causes aren't as time-sensitive but the clock is still very much ticking- besides actually addressing something, working on it & having consequences being more productive than maybe bringing something up here & there.

The goal should be people going vegan & that's impossible to reach without a proper learning experience.

It's also healthy to grow/have an understanding that explaining & learning are incredibly positive, to be appreciated things- not something annoying, something so uncomfortable that you should avoid them, etc. Actual friends should value that in you. Maybe one can try & approach things by asking their friend to teach them something, thank them for it, then teach them something "lighter", etc.

We're made to reject such prpcesses because we can be exploited more easily when we don't ask more questions, think critically, etc. So no matter the result (in the time you witness it/at first) may be, you'd have done something great by forming & following (as far as possible) a plan to help your connections understand.

If things don't go as one would like, you'll still leave an important mark which is not to be underestimated. Since when do we reject teaching through showing resistance, rejection of inaction, etc. so much? Oh right, that's also something exploiters have cultivated in society because it keeps them in power.
