Passive aggression is fun

It's a political reality that you have to convince people to agree with you, that don't necessarily understand you. I don't argue that, say, Mattias Eklundh is great, by throwing a ton of music theory at them they have no interest in. I convince them by showing them parts of his music that they're more likely to understand and appreciate on some level.

On the same token, if 6 billion of 7 billion people are horrible people, I don't see why you'd echo chamber yourself with the 1 billion and imagine that's going to cause a change in the 6 billion's behaviour. What will change the 6 billion, is someone talking to them on their level and getting them to change their beliefs in a way they're capable of doing. Even if its small steps at a time.

What absolutely won't work is showing up at the local 6 billion's boozer armed with pamflets and an attitude problem.

Aggression in general is fun, why do you think there are so few videogames about politely talking over your differences?

So what you're saying is, because people can google up how to think like you, you're justified in not actually trying to convince them why you're right?

Seems to me like in that situation you're basically taking all the credit for everyone else actually making an effort to advance the causes you're so fond of, while you sit on your goddamn ass.

A thousand times this. It's not my job to teach people how to be decent human beings. I do consider it my job to call the shit ones out for what they are.

Nah my existence as a neurodivergent non binary sex worker is pretty revolutionary, while you sit in your moms attic and debate about esports, I'm pretty sure I'm the clear winner here

So your rationale is that you're a fantastic, progressive political leader, because despite not engaging in any actually progressive or political work, you represent several minorities within which other people do the hard work you don't. Got it.
