Do you really think your time is worth listening or debating this bone headed drivel? Develop a real good closer, and dump this goofball.
Its a mental disorder as well as political philosophy. Cannot be engaged through reason as you have found out.
Block them. Why waste your time debating lunatics? You don’t debate crazy persons screaming on street corners, do you?
Ditto #2. Is your time not worth more than this? It won’t change her. Do you spend this much time talking to friends?
Don’t argue with fool, people will not be able to tell the difference.
These people are insane and should probably be treated as dangerous.
I would do nothing to draw their attention.
They will not get well on their own - they will just get worse.
The Nazis were not a product of the Right, but rather, the Left. They also espoused vegetarianism, many of the things commonly thought of as talking points of the Left these days. Suggest she read Liberal Fascism. Great book. The Soviets murdered literally by the millions, by starvation, execution, many other ways. Suggest that the silly commie woman read The Gulag Archipelago. The Communist Chinese likewise murder with utter disregard. Only societies that value freedom and human life avoid that sort of thing. It sounds like the woman in question needs to be dropped like a hot rock. Not your homeschooling friend, but the so-called vamp with poor grammar.
Why waste your time with these freaks ?
Do something that brings you enjoyment.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;”
When tyrants rule, such as Mao, Stalin, Castro, Hilter, and Pol Pot, millions of people are murdered, incarcerated, beaten, tortured and robbed of their earthly possessions. Give me liberty, or give me death.
Beware of casting “pearls before swine” - our Republic doesn’t need to be defended against swine, and you don’t need to frustration and tension!
I wouldn’t bother arguing with these people for the following reasons:
1. They are ignorant of 20th century history. Abysmally ignorant.
2. They are not capable of being persuaded by reason as their arguments are based upon “feelings, nothing more than feelings”.
3. These two are deep in the communist scenario and extricating them is not worth while. Write them off.
I have rarely seen more ignorant statements.
Don’t bother arguing. Their minds are made up, don’t try to confuse them with facts.
Ask them to duly remove their asses to any of the commie paradises such as Cuba, Venezuela, NorKorea, Myanmar and enjoy the fruits of their collective labor. If capitalism is s evil, then leave our blessed country for the fortunes of those commie nations.
You might want to mention the fact that you don’t see migration patterns flocking to those authoritarian nations, only to the US. Why, might you ask people risk their lives and their safety to travel here to live? Because capitalism is democratic. All you need is an idea, dedication and some luck and one day you too can become George Soros or Bill Gates.
So please, tell your commie friends to venture forth to those lands that restrict and direct their peoples with authoritarian control. Once they get there they will hear of the hardships of these victimized people and of their aspiration to one day leave to live in a free and capitalistic society.
I should know, I lived in Switzerland in the 80’s and travelled many of the Eastern Block countries and got to know many people in Hungary, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.
“Never try to teach a pig to sing. It just wastes your time and it really annoys the pig.”
Here’s a closer that often works for me:
Dear_______,
I feel compelled to inform you that a patient at the Bethesda Home for the Perpetually Bewildered Progressives has apparently missed a thorizine shot and broken into Nurse Ratchet’s office, hacked into her computer and is sending totally bizarre, nonsensical, historically inaccurate, fiction-laced emails over your name.
I just thought you should know before your reputation is completely ruined.
Even if it doesn’t make them go away, it sure as hell makes me feel better.
I used to waste hours on end debating these fools.
Now I focus on heading them off at the pass, making sure that their policies never see the light of day, and burying them if they do.
You can’t argue with someone who uses lies to make a point. Why bother.
This isn’t a lot of help, but I’d stop arguing with them and give them the silent treatment. Shoot some quotes if you feel you must, but I’d make book they’d be demanding more of you before you even get those quotes out. I’d look to Tom Paine, Adam Smith, Tocqueville maybe Mencken. Bill Buckley.
Life’s too short to deal with these shrews, so dump them. I guarantee you would be neither the first or last to do so. They won’t think that badly of you because they are, judging from the parts you posted here, quite used to it.
You’re just like that prude IRS Agent in that “Boardwalk” series, flagellating himself with a leather whip for thinking dirty thoughts (e.g., arguing with assholes)....
They didn’t burn books in Cambodia either. The Khmer Rouge just killed anyone who could read.
