House of Eratosthenes

Remember, You Know Best for Us. You should do as much as you can to compel us to comply with your enlightened views. Force innocent bakers to bake cakes just because you can. People love that — especially when you simultaneously discover the moral necessity of allowing employees on a chorus line to opt out of entertaining those you deem unacceptable. Also, try to disarm us even as crime rates have entered a dizzying climb thanks to your cavorting with quasi-terrorist mobs and trashing the police — remember, it’s not the fear of being raped or murdered that inspired us to exercise that musty old Second Amendment, it’s racism!
:
Don’t Hide Your Feelings On Social Media. Social media allows you the opportunity to freely express what you really think to a vast audience — use it! Once, you could only say what you really think in little groups at Manhattan cocktail parties or cafés in Los Angeles, or publish it in obscure magazines no normals ever read. Well, now you can tweet your innermost thoughts and have those views go viral! It used to be a secret that you thought we are idiots for having religious beliefs, but not anymore! Your desire to confiscate guns had to be hidden with weasel words in public, but now you are no longer restrained. In fact, you can loudly and publicly wish us harm — we love being told you can’t wait for us to die off so you can take total control of the country.

Look, you hit a few unexpected bumps in the road in 2016 — I mean, who could have foreseen that nominating someone under FBI investigation might turn out badly? But there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing — the problem isn’t you. It’s everyone else, especially those stupid, racist, gun nut Jesus people who aren’t bright enough to understand that you are entitled to rule over them. So don’t ever change. Stay the course. Oh gosh, please, please, please, by all means, stay the course.

Oh, they’ll stay the course all right. They have to, for the reasons you detailed in your last post — they don’t know how to argue their positions, because they aren’t aware that they’re even “positions,” let alone that there ever were or could be arguments for them.

For all their self-proclaimed love of “nuance” — and their self-proclaimed fucking love of “science” — Liberals are the most black-and-white thinkers on the planet. They are Smart and we are Dumb, because by definition if we were Smart, we’d be Liberals. From which it necessarily follows that they can’t, by definition, learn anything from the likes of us. Thus no new information can ever penetrate their skulls, save however it is they get their talking points from the herd of independent minds (and it still baffles me how that’s even possible; I wish the cognitive science guys would get on it).

So what else can they do? Nothing short of an actual mugging is capable of changing their minds… if even that. Which is why my New Year’s Resolution is no longer to bother even trying. I’m just going to call them racist sexist homophobes and ban them. Since that’s what “reasoned debate” is these days…..

Nope. Case in point the woman raped by 3 muslim ‘refugees’ in Germany who went on to apologize to them for outing them for the rape and ended by telling them how wonderful they were.
