Except “Pantheon” v. Parthenon. The Parthenon is on the Acropolis.
Good post fun with facts.
I just point out to them that they are inconsistent and smug. They don’t take it well.
They tend to quickly realize that their spouting of crap will not be accepted when I am present.
Yes, almost everyone has dealt with it.
Another way is to just slap the bitch!
Agree to often
If I am forced to endure woke leftist I will generally say nothing. My wife will say don’t start a fight to me and I won’t, however, if they persist I will return fire and using their own words against them is fun. Using questions to get them to blunder into the truth is just as fun. I work at a community college and one history instructor is an old time socialist but describes himself as an early 20th century classical liberal, and he likes to come by my office and visit and at times will start a debate.
One of the funniest times I had debating him was when Trump was president and he had just cut loose with one of his famous Tweets. The history instructor was boiling mad! “This man can’t be aloud to continue to post or say these things!” was his cry. I listened and asked him you say you are a classical liberal correct? Yes! You believe college should be a learning experience, open to debate from every corner of the spectrum? Yes, within reason he said. I asked who gets to determine what is within reason? Well society I guess. But society changes so who gets to make that call? He couldn’t answer that question.
Then I said but you being a classical liberal I would think you would fully support free speech and the 1st Amendment. His reply “absolutely!” Ok you support free speech, but not more than five minutes ago you said Trump should be censored and not allowed to post or tweet on social media, how is that supporting free speech? He shouldn’t be allowed to say anything he wailed! But by your own admission you are a classical liberal who supports free speech and the 1st Amendment. He said “I do!”. I replied with a question then how can you reconcile alleging to support free speech and the 1st Amendment and yet censoring your political opposition? How, your positions are in conflict? His face turned blood red and he stormed out of my office, muttering Trump is evil and I’m not a censor! Right comrade I replied. He showed back up in a couple of days, kind of half apologized and dropped the subject quickly.
Yes, here in Canada we are constantly reminded on which “native’s” land we residing. I always comment “So when are you exiting your home as a squatter on native land?”. I mean what’s the point of reminding us all we are on “stolen” land if you don’t actually mean to do something about it?
yep
turn those “I get to preen and virtue signal with no pushback ever and others are afraid of crossing me” moments into
“am I really going to get the cops called on me” moments
it really changes the psychology of the situation a lot when they risk being the guy people are pointing fingers at and calling Hitler
Yep. They are all talk. They want the world to change, but they don’t intend to change until everyone else does first.
At this point in the game, yes.
