    @ArcMother @blueemu @aleen @jargoggles The facetious part is calling back to your argument being based so much on what you think you understand about other people's thoughts.

    This part, too:

    It's a shame Democrats have been sleeping on the "juvenile insult" kill move. They were probably misled by all of us weak fatties saying "actually, we're kinda repulsed by fat phobia coming from people who say they care about us." The fools.

    Seriously---I think this kind of activism is corrosive.

    @humanadverb @blueemu @aleen @jargoggles I study psychology and specifically narcissists and psychopaths. I've studied and dealt with these people for actual decades. So yeah, I know it works. I wouldn't do it if it didn't work, for all the reasons people are jumping down my throat about. Also, I'm not running for office, I'm starting flame wars in maga comment sections. Very different strategies for very different purposes.

    @ArcMother @blueemu @aleen @jargoggles I apologize for being facetious and I'm going to stop, but I really hope you can hear me on this:

    You mentioned your qualifications only briefly, but decades of study and experience I and probably most of the people in your mentions have too. You're not a singular expert.

    Us lefties, we listen to each other and try to do better.

    Instead of stepping on people's hurts so you can continue to hurl insults you don't really believe in, try listening.

    @humanadverb @blueemu @aleen @jargoggles I listened. But you're telling me that it doesn't work and its not worth it. Those things are not true. So.. What else do you want? I'm not going to pretend something is true that isn't and give up on a strategy so that you guys will like me better or something.

    @ArcMother @blueemu @aleen @jargoggles I have given you a lot of reasons why I think it is counterproductive. I wasn't hoping you would renounce truth, but hopefully reconsider your conclusions. Or, absent that, at least recalculate the cost-benefit here.

    I'm not working on you with a tactic. I'm not making an argument I don't believe in because I want a certain outcome.

    I get that maybe we need to break some eggs to win. I'm not sure anything about what you're doing here is helpful.
