Yes, I’m sure that’s their defining motivator…
It’s not at all that they’re ignorant, rusted on, bigots
Perhaps, but calling them names and hurling insults is never going to change their mind. It may even embolden their position because name-calling usually means that you don't have a good response to their argument.
posted in wrong thread
I don’t really care to change the minds of those people, better to continue harassing and marginalising them. They get stroppy, start to post on social media, get shit canned/dumped/ostracised by friends/colleagues. It’s boring work but it’s worth it, I assume anyway
