People are tired because there's literally no winning with tactics like that. The idiotic tactics on display in the OP aren't about realistically "winning" the culture war. It's just sowing so many nonsense weeds that any reasonable discussion is choked off of the vine. When you allow inanity like "male/female skull assignment" as a platform instead of "simply being correct", the whole game goes down the toilet. It's now just "who can shout the loudest and the longest and into the most ears directly". That's not a race with a finish line, it's the cultural equivalent to a "last person shitting" contest and these motherfuckers are full of shit.

If you have a mind to think, you can only turn it off so long. And when the reasonable person does switch theirs back on, they'll eventually have to contend with the mess.

We can, we can laugh the loudest and longest. We can do the same. There is winning here. You make idiots look like idiots and they all know it when it happens. Highly effective.

People say they're tired but that's just defeatism. Tired before they begin. Too tired to try. That’s not fatigue; that’s losing.

We keep hearing the same excuses:

“Don’t wrassle with pigs.”
“We all lose if we engage”
“I think I broke his fist on my face”

That is absurd. That’s just rationalizing inaction.

There is no finish line in this fight. There’s only the work. You learn the game. Then you play the game. That’s it. No more nonsense. No more philosophical excuses for not doing the work.

We’ve been shoved into corners of the internet because we act like spectators. We should be dominating those corners. We should be everywhere. Sharing content. Making content. Boosting our voices. Drowning out their hypocrisy with facts, with memes, with relentless presence. That is how the took over every algorithm. That's why my grandmother knows every single one of their points and none of ours. Do we have any points beyond just calling them racists or fascist? What are we doing here...

You don’t need to "win" arguments. You just need to amplify. Take their dumb takes, like Tim Pool calling online arguments “warfare”, and turn that into clips, memes, videos. Cut. Clip. Post. Share. Boom. It’s not hard. It’s barely work.

And it isn't being done. That’s on us. If content like this video isn’t going viral every day, that’s our fault. That’s a failure of effort and coordination.

We need to wake up and get serious. Support each other. Boost names. Share posts. Make content. Don’t stop until your grandmother is quoting memes from Reddit, Lemmy, and X.

Stop being passive. Start being present. Every single day.

The only correct response is clearly to laugh at them, degrade them, and then slam a metal folding chair over their head. From there it's up to you if ya want to steal their wallet and piss on them.

It's true. I have been told by many women my head looks quite phallic. Every one that's told me that has been too impressed to date me. I didn't expect it to affect even my online interactions.

Suffering from success...
