What are good techniques to introduce such philosophy to people who have gone astray?
I grew up in and live in a pretty leftist area, but there are also a lot of people on the far right who could use philosophy, virtually everyone I know is a statist that doesn't even know the definition of anarchy, much less the underlying principles. The problem I tend to encounter is that people on both sides tend to think that logic and reason that doesn't fit their programming must be on the opposite extreme relative to where they're at.
It seems like anything rational is often opposed strongly by at least one "side", and often both sides.
I was fortunate to be going through some stuff that required me to open my mind to new ideas in order to survive and\or thrive, some would call it the gift of desperation. How does one approach people who aren't even willing to have an open mind?

Hi Stefan, #1 during your life of philosophical inquiry, what were the top, say, 6 insights that were there most meaningful to you that "teleported" you ahead in life and you're willing to share? (Gems of knowledge do have this power...) #2 The future's SO uncertain, there are intelligent, motivated, organized folk with top (evil) work ethic fabricating danger, famine, floods, g#n@c1d3, etc. ahead. Most good/non-evil people are either morons and/or spineless inoffensive cowards who will just let whatever happen happen maybe without ever having a clue. Even ppl who are (somewhat??) aware don't feel ready or don't want to deal with the situation with 10% of the absolute seriousness it demands (AFAIC, it's the ONLY important topic on the whole planet for humanity rn). What's the best way you've found to behave towards/with those? What's the best strategy? Not sure it's an entirely philosophical Q, but, the heck, I'd love to get your POV on it anyways.
