    Dangerous mindset. Too close to “You’re either with us or you’re against us” There is nothing wrong with being right down the middle and having some right wing ideologies and some left wing ideologies. Lots of people are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. It’s not their fault the political system and zealots who’ve politicized everything have drawn such a deep line in the sand.

    Apparently we aren’t allowed to fight fire with fire. eyeroll

    You know what? Fuck that. When I deal with meatheads at work (I’m in construction) I use their own language against them to shame them. One example: If they say something is woke just because they don’t like it, I’m calling them a r3tard. Not because I enjoy saying the word, but because I KNOW it’s language that will actually get through to them. " Are you r3tarded?" Is A LOT more effective than “That’s not nice” with people who are like that.
