My own views have evolved based on conversations I’ve read and participated in online. I don't necessarily realize it at the time I’m still participating in the conversation, or stubborness may preclude me from telling the person presenting the opposing viewpoint that I decided to abandon my belief in favor of theirs, but i have been persuaded in the past. I assume this happens to other people as well. One thing to note is that the beliefs you’re convincing people of don’t have to be top-level shifts like ‘be a communist instead of a libertarian ‘... one can help others see individual issues or political figures in a new light.
