My team has a virtual happy hour every week, and almost every time I have to hear about vuvuzela no food 69 billion dead. The one time it wasn’t that was one of my coworkers defending JK Rowling for being a transphobe.
Just today corporate surveillance came up and one of my coworkers (who used to work for the defense industry, go figure) brings up muh see see pee pee poo poo. I told everyone I had other obligations and noped out before I had to hear that shit for the millionth time.
How’s everyone else’s week?
I think the best method for dealing with this nonsense is just play dumb and then ask them questions that make them look foolish and cause them to see the logical fallacies in their bullshit.
Unfortunately logical thinking is the worst kind of propaganda. If you want to convert people, the best is to be nice with left-leaning newbies and expose them slowly to controversial takes while explaining nicely when they express concern.
With conservative kind of people the best is to get them pacified, only when holding any kind of power, by using the same strategy as the right: using comforting shallow moralistic justifications to your actions.
At least that’s what I understood with my own experience of organising and talking to people a little bit
