    Someone on the left will absolutely, 100% call you out for using the term “cunt” as a pejorative, they will bring up how calling someone useless is ablest, and probably some story about how “sniveling” was used as a slur in 1642 on a small island off Wales.

    Why? because we have an innate human response system to respond to dissent from our own “tribe” and as a result, people have learned to get attention by attacking their own tribe. They want to feel heard and feel special and know that if they offer some “counter point” they will seem “intellectually honest” and thus gain standing with their team, and again, we simply don’t know how to tune out criticism from our own people and move forward. It’s why we keep losing.

    The right wins because they’re too dimwitted to do this, they are mindless in their group support. They don’t have the language skills to form intellectual opposition or to “call out” each other, they don’t know how. This is all a great example of how nature doesn’t necessarily design for intelligence, and being smart can be a survival disadvantage.

      Congratulations on using 3 entire paragraphs to say absolutely nothing useful.

      This reads like someone who’s never talked to an actual leftist in real life. Please go touch grass.

        About the kind of response I expected from the people who don’t know how to be effective at all. Congratulations for accomplishing even less and making yourself out to be a generic zoomer who can’t think of anything original.
