Hmm. As someone who has converted people before, my only advice is to take a very long view and to give them a piece here and there in sneaky ways. Like, I approach situations where I think someone could probably be brought to understand this and situations where I'm furious very, very differently. If that makes sense. (And oh, psych majors. Yeah.)
Man, if I only knew the answer to that one. I mean, I know the mechanism that leads to people perpetuating structures because it's easier that way, but I don't know how to change that. The only way I've ever brought people over to my perspective has been through a truckload of patience, which is difficult as fuck. But differentiating between arguments and conversion helped me enormously.
