I've been wondering that for some time. I have no freaking idea how to reach them. There are already tons of emotional appeals and logical appeals. There are groups for people to join. There are parties. Those work on at least gaining the attention of most people.
I think the biggest problem is peoples willingness to believe a lie. It is hard to compete against someone with a closed mind because they believe a lie.
Agreed. I admit I don't have much of an idea either...but then again I'm an INTJ...I'm not some overly-emotional hippy-esque NF, or brash and impulsive SP, nor am I a solemn, state-worshiping, collectivist SJ (note SJ's from my understanding and experience tend to be among the worst for "follow the letter of the law because it is the law" type people...many of them are practically born bureaucrats! How the FUCK do we counter that?)
I think for NF's the best thing would be to appeal to their ethics...they seem most likely to support government because of "the good" it does, i.e. feeding starving children in Third-world hellholes, and provide money to old people, (Social Security) and poor people (Welfare). Convince them that to accomplish those goals, the gov't does more evil, than the good it does, and in doing so "taints" the good done and you have taken a big step. Convincing them that the private, voluntary efforts would also be more efficient, would another, albeit smaller steps.
For SJ's...I think the best thing might be to try to convince them that gov't is intrinsically anti-family, anti-community, and anti-common good....SJ's tend to dislike selfishness AND unnecessary spending, so show them that gov't by it's very nature, divorces the negative consequences of extreme, exploitative, selfishness, and money-hemorrhaging, from the actions themselves, and that you can't reform government to stop that...and that would a major step. Maybe.
SP's...I have no fucking clue.
