tilting at windmills, uspol, birdsite/reddit 

I will probably never, ever, ever in my life succeed in winning a fair, factual debate against a conservative on social media (nor having one), nor will I ever change any of their minds.

But damn, I have gotten good at inducing that moment where they suddenly snap over from "I AM A VERY RATIONAL INDIVIDUAL FULL OF FACTS, AND WHICH ONE OF YOU FOOLS WANTS TO TAKE ME ON" to "I didn't want to talk to you idiots anyhow. *pout* "

And that's not much, but it's gratifying as hell, and maybe it'll save some of the fence-sitters from being taken in. I don't know if it's the good fight, but it's the Happy Hunt, and I've come to accept it: I am not a healer. I am a huntress.

@zebratron2084 one CAN'T convince these assholes of anything. I'm surprised that you could get them to back off rather than being smugly assured that they themselves were ultimate masters of rational superiority. My experience has been the only thing that gets through to fucks like that is violence and without being able to offer that, all you can do is avoid.
