#1 It's quite a racket. Choose any field of human endeavor. There will be winners and losers. Side with the losers, declare your moral superiority and issue demands. Rinse and repeat.

#2 Very good points but not really anything new to the regulars here on Rantburg.

We have seen the 'Green Helmet Guy' trotting around the dead girl from photo-op to photo-op twirling his finger saying 'keep rolling'.

Not to mention the selective reporting and outright lying in the media ("hands up dont' shoot!" comes to mind) in order to rouse the weak-minded rabble.

#3 Peer pressure from baby adults. Bucked that crap back in grade school.

Four magic words:
Not My Effn Problem.

Funny timing deal. Wife and I were discussing child and sleepovers, or lack of. Wife replies, "Good. I don't want her liking everyone or everyone liking her. Some people are worth pissing off."

Telling ya, got a little dusty there.

#4 Weaponized empathy is just a subset of weaponized language. Compare Noah Chomsky to Dr. Milton Erickson, for starters.

#5 Never underestimate the power to tell someone to 'FUCK OFF!!!', loud and clear, an inch away from their face.

#6 Throw this back at'em.

So by the If you are pro-life you must be pro-immigrant twist...

...those who are for abortion are anti-immigrant.
