    I mean like, in terms of the effort-to-returns ratio, I’m not saying it wouldn’t be worth it to try and talk with like…libertarian friends or family members or something. But randos are always going to be more difficult, and randos with an incentive to side with the state will be the most difficult. So when judging how you’re going to spend your energy you have to plan accordingly. Racist cousin Steve is going to require more hours of debate than, say, some coworkers that you already know hate your job and talk openly about how much it sucks. But if you spend all your energy on cousin Steve you lose out on the coworkers. You have to decide which of those is more important to you and your goals.
