The Socratic method only works with smart people which woketards are most certainly not.

It’s over.

No it's not. We just call it trafficking now.

Uppercut, followed by a right hook.

About the Indians? When we visited the Little Bighorn battlefield, we took the park bus tour. I don’t recall how it came up in the conversation, but the woman giving the tour had casually mentioned that she was Crow. (The Little Bighorn battlefield is on Crow land.) Always ready to be a polite bull in the china shop, I asked at one of the stops if she got any static from Sioux and Cheyenne visitors, since the Crow were ancient blood enemies of the Sioux and Cheyenne; by the time of the battle, the Crow were peaceful, attempting to assimilate and allied to the U.S. government. Custer’s scouts were Crow.

So: when I asked if she got static from members of the other tribes, our guide smiled and said, “Oh, all the time. But we don’t shed blood over it any more except on the basketball court.”

LOL, so funny. Cigar and bourbon therapy is a staple at my homestead.

I’m going to try the dialectic. Pretty good technique. At least I don’t have to wrestle the pig.

That’s easy. It was Black Muslims who ran the African slave trade. In fact, they still do.

See, Mohammad taught that it was okay to enslave infidels.

How to talk to a slanderous death cult fanatic? Because that's what being discussed here.

Answer: Don't. Not even if they talk to you. Act like they are not there and leave as quickly as possible.

Don’t talk to a wokester

Wokesters must be ostracized, shunned

Good idea. Akin to reporters who actually ask follow up questions. The wokester described here, and I know some, has a sound bite mentality. They can rattle off a meme or a phrase as if they memorized it for the occasion, but there is nothing much more behind it. They adopt ideas like the flat props on a stage— false front ideas.

The trick is how to keep them engaged after they have shot their one round and the chamber is empty. Typically they will hurry off or change the subject.

That may be true, but there was slavery even back in Biblical times.

Joseph was sold as a slave by his own brothers.

Hebrews were slaves in Egypt.

Centuries before Mohammed was even born.

It’s as old as prostitution.

“The Socratic method can be used with effect. “

The woketards just get frustrated and call you a racist, then they walk away basking in their smugness.

How to Talk to a Wokester

I prefer sign language in which the middle finger plays a prominent part. Actually, my first choice is not to talk to the moron at all.

Kick them out of thanksgiving dinner since they obviously have nothing to be thankful for.

No, but it’s great fun to watch them spin up as they talk themselves into a Gordian knot. In my experience, Socratic Method is the way to go when trapped in a conversation with Woketards.

Or, another option might be to tell them to STFU, then tell them not to talk to me until they get SOME education and then walk away. I really do not care what they think. They refuse to consider getting an education that requires thinking. If I want to hear ridiculous dumb s^^t I will watch CNN or something from Disney.

Instead of challenging the wokester’s knowledge, let’s go with the wokester’s knowledge and draw it out. Let her school us, let her show us her certainty and let’s accept her duty to instruct the ignorant. She wants to be a pedagogue; we shall accept the position of pupil.

Total waste of time.

If the wokester had real knowledge, they would not be spouting this nonsense.

I have tried to have to have a rational, quiet, conversation with a few of these freaks and it is not possible.

My response now is, "Some people call this leather bag a fanny pack, I call it a holster, blow me."

End of conversation.

“ Save your breath—don’t try to argue, don’t defend.”

Works for me. You can’t fix “stuck on stupid “.

"Woke-ism" is based entirely on emotions and "good intentions." Rarely do the "woke" (many of who are on the Left) truly "preach what they practice."

I engage with a such a person only if they accept the following two conditions:

1) They agree that the objective of our conversation is not to change the other person's mind (as that is most unlikely to happen and leads to frustration when it doesn't happen); rather, our objective is to identify where and how we differ, and to develop an understanding of why we differ.

2) They accept that our discussion must be conducted in an objective, even civil manner, and that although it may very well become emotional at times, we must avoid personal attacks if our discussion is to be productive (this one is extremely difficult for the emotion-driven Leftist to carry out, much less agree to!)

I've done this with considerable success and have learned much about the Leftist/"woke" thought process which makes me more effective in future discussions. It's actually enjoyable when you are able to pull it off.
