I started a conversation with my neighbors about the Netflix series "The Keepers" because we often discuss our favorite on-demand entertainment. I mentioned how interesting it was to see these two women (students of the missing teacher) do all this investigative work for almost 50 years. And, doing it without the ease of access like the internet - they did lots of 'boots on the ground' investigation that the police would not follow through on. My neighbors agreed it sounded interesting and would watch it.

This gave me the opportunity to put in a few hints at how citizen investigators are documenting and archiving a similar 'scandal' that involves child abusers on a massive scale. They knew I was referring to pizzagate because I had mentioned it before but I didn't push it. Just wanted to make a parallel that when mainstream media and law enforcement abandon wrong doings, it's up to others to keep the quest alive.

I didn't really achieve a red pill moment, but I believe it was a nudge towards them being more open minded and respectful towards citizen journalism and crowd sourced efforts.
