I recently dumped a girl I was dating because of the 1 inch at a time phenomena. I learned about this listening to Jordan Peterson on youtube explaining how the average pre-war German police officer could go from normal dude to committing atrocities in only a few years. And its by 1 inch at a time. You get pushed in your beliefs and you give in and back up by 1 inch. You take a stand. You get pushed again, you back up 1 inch and all of the sudden you realize you got pushed back 25 feet and realize "how the fuck did I get to where I am today?"

My story: I was "dating" a self-proclaimed feminist. At first, most of her opinions were not that extreme and I was willing to listen to some of her ideology. But inch by inch, she would send me feminist articles to read and then ask my opinion and engage me in "debates". She would direct me to "new age men (cuck)" websites and gush how great those were. I should tell you that her profession is a therapist. She knew I was more than likely going to vote Trump, so she very slowly started sending me Jon Stewart clips mocking Trump and other anti Trump propaganda to try and sway my vote. When grab-them-by-the-pussy came out she treated it like the worst atrocity on mankind since Stalin's purge. She said she was going to teach her son about the evils of "white privilege" (she's white).

Fast forward to election day. She had convinced me that if I wasn't going to vote for Hillary, then I should abstain and not vote at all. I almost did abstain. I realized that morning that I had been pushed 1 inch at a time to a place I thought I would never be in. I drove to the polling place and cast my vote for Trump. And I haven't spoken one word to her since.

Getting pushed 1 inch at a time is a real thing. Have your eyes open gents.
