It has been quite frustrating for me to watch well meaning people try to debate a woke person, only to end up upset and humiliated, with their reputation in tatters, after a getting verbally and socially outmaneuvered by a woke person in a public discussion. The thing to remember is that most of the time, the woke person is not playing by the same rules as the rest of us.
A preacher at a highschool was heckled “there is growing evidence jesus was a rabbit”. The crowd laughed. The preacher got everyones attention saying he is coming out and has lived life in the closet too long…as a racoon. The crowd then laughing on his side.
Excellent strategy, Mr. Distance. Thank you for writing these articles. I have always found your analysis highly detailed (those long threads you wrote) and right on the money. I appreciate the time and care you take to come up with practical, fair and sensible ideas.
Love this. We need tactics & this is a huge help.
It’s the difference between debate and rhetoric. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion.
I'm really enjoying these. Very interesting and informative, thank you!
