I delete at least 2/3 of the things I set out to post. Half way through "Fuck it - who cares anyway?" or "this is just going to start an argument I don't want to be bothered having." usually happen.
That's why I always say don't engage, just downvoat and ignore.
Works for real life too, most of the time it's not worth your time to get pulled into a debate with some indoctrinated person that is yelling to the void that Whiteness is bad. Ignoring them and not giving them a platform is most of the time most effective.
I suppose the socratic method would work, getting people to ask questions themselves. From an ego perspective they're satisfied, because they aren't in a position of inferiority when you confront them. But I find it hard to actually kick start that process to get people to start questioning things.
To be very clear, this is not a technique for redpilling or when redpilling is possible. This is only to be used when the person you are engaging has absolutely no chance of being swayed no matter how persuasive your argument or how irrefutable your facts. This includes the audience as well.
It's more about knowing which battles are winnable, and which are an endless resource sink. My main point is to know when to engage, and when not to. Often times the only winning move is not to engage.

Made that mistake yesterday. Expect all kinds of bullshit if you call out a shill or retard in this day and age. Like killing a wasp near its nest.

How else does one go about red pilling?

In other words, don't cast your pearls before swine. I've come to accept this for about 90% of the people I meet sadly.
