It is difficult to talk to people about freedom. Most of them have not considered it. They have not thought further than what public education has prepared them for, so they regurgitate the same claptrap they have been spoon fed their whole life. Thus, it takes someone with a lot of patience to explain and express the precepts of liberty, and to respectfully challenge dangerous and distorted worldviews.
Part of being able to calmly express these ideas means not only bombarding people with reason and logic, but empathizing with their plight, leveling with their humanity. People cling tight to their views as a result of ego psychology, and as a result of the complexities of nature and nurture. They basically build resistances to other ideas over time, and this allows culture to take advantage of the malleability of the human brain.
But that is also the psychological edge anarchists have. They can turn the tides with the proper approach, and use the malleability of the brain to introduce better ideas.
Anarchists should be gentle, and ease people into learning. Using psychology and neuroscience in an expert fashion will be a key factor in helping people gain a better grasp of anarchism, and it won't be considered brainwashing because anarchists will not have to coerce or use forcible pressure to alter them. Anarchists will simply use voluntary, consensual and natural methods -- which will in turn help heal the brain from the toxins of a vicious culture.
