    100% agree with your reading. 100% think this dude needs a slap.

    But, yeah. The headline is click bait and it pissed me off a little. Fighting back against bozos like this requires a steady hand that doesn’t give them ammo for future arguments.

    “YOU said I said X, but I clearly didn’t say X, therefore nothing you say is correct.” It’s disingenuous, but it’s the bullshit they pull.

      that doesn’t give them ammo for future arguments.

      That is a silly thing to worry about, since fascists doesn’t believe in words. Even if you said nothing at all, they will make up things to give them ammo for future arguments. There is no rationally debating a fascist, they only believe in power. So don’t waste any energy or time pretending you can convince one with arguments.

        While I agree with the premise, dude. You’re basically saying “you can’t put out this fire, so it’s okay if we throw in some logs and shit.”

        No, man. It’s a fire. The situation is not ideal. Don’t add shit to it.
