Thats because they’ve been conditioned to view themselves as the victim. When you point out that they are doing harm to others it really fucks with their entire sense of self and they get defensive.
This is also why they need to hear the truth. We cannot keep coddling these snowflakes just because it makes them feel more comfortable and gives them a false sense of security.
Imagine it like you’re meeting a kid who has been homeschooled and sheltered from the outside world for their entire lives. They often say and believe things that don’t line up with reality because their view on the outside world has relied only on what their parents were willing to tell them.
The gradual shift from slant to widespread gaslighting and narrative control that we’re all seeing in most American news and media in 2025, is just a glimpse into what the right have been experiencing for decades. We view it as alarming now, but imagine how you’ll feel after a few years.
After a while it just becomes the normal/default. Imagine generations growing up dependent on this shit to keep them informed about the rest of the world. They’re not going to be happy about hearing the truth, but they need to hear it. All you can and should do is state facts, and ignore any attempts to turn every conversation into a Fox News vs CNN debate.
If they continue to escalate, just disengage like you would a child throwing a tantrum. If/when they’re ready to calm down and speak rationally, then repeat. Stick to facts. Present evidence if they’re willing to listen. Do not let them twist the narrative or pivot to a different subject in order to distract. At the end of the day, they have no evidence to back up the things they say. If they can’t present their evidence, then the conversation is over.
If they still want to be angry and blame someone, tell them they should take it up with the abusive patriarchal oligarchs who manipulated them and distorted their reality in order to control them.
