How do you deal with non-progressives in society?
This is a serious question. It is getting to a point where if I have to interact in any capacity with anyone who is not a progressive, my adrenaline runs faster, and if I have to talk with or even be in the vicinity of a non-progressive Republican (redundancy, I know), I actually start to feel triggered and I get very wary, even in normally non-confrontational situations. For instance, at the place where I play snooker, I tend to treat non-progressives with colder resolve and less civility during our frames, even if other outwardly appearances don't reflect this unease.

This is something I've only noticed since I've seen the insidious racial hatred toward Obama, and has accelerated beyond the point where it is easily negated through exercise or meditation. Since I, a rational person, feel the effects, I know it affects others here as well.

Ahhhh...poooh baby. Let's take a peeksy.

1. Behave toward them as you would have them behave to you. It is not always easy, but if you wish to advocate for change, be that change. (With thanks to Gandhi.)

Spoken like a true cheeto munchkin. Of course, gillaumeb probably never do 1/10,000th of what Mahatma Gandhi accomplished.

10. The problem is that right-wing nutcases can't help but introduce right-wing politics into every single thing they talk about.

It's maddening. Even if you tell them you don't want to discuss politics, right-wing-hate-radio propaganda will stick its ugly nose into everyday topics. These people are so full of hate that they can't keep it contained; they must spew it at everything around them at every chance they get. The only way I've found to deal with it is to stay away from them.

LOL... mirror, look, you know the drill, theeny.

And the list goes on...

No.  You don't want that.  Polite society, upbringing and faith all demand that I don't put my boot on your windpipe, cram a barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger.

but if you wish to advocate for change, be that change. (With thanks to Gandhi.)

Who, just happened to be a big fan of guns.  Did you know that, little asshole?

Rational?   Hmmm...




Rational people do not flip out about other peoples politics nor do they attribute political disagreements to racism.

  Dude, it's a game. It's supposed to be something that you enjoy, that relaxes you!

Umm, the first part of that comment came from Someone much earlier than Gandhi.

Who are you kidding?! I don't talk about political stuff as much as 5 minutes a day average, and not at all on many days. I have a life that isn't focused on politics. Are you sure you weren't looking in a mirror, goddess-wannabe?

Do like we do.
1. Respond to leftist nutbag with a clean and well researched argument.
2. Laugh at rantings spewing back from leftist nubag.
3. After being called a name, usually racist, respond in kind and laugh as leftist nutbag storms off cussing to itself.

Oh wait. you are the leftist nutbag. Then retreat into your fantasy of how you showed a decent, civilized, and rational person an ass whooping and tell fable to other leftist nutbags on the DUmp.

DUmmy fluke, To show how irrational your logic is in deciding how to treat people, I replaced the word "progressive" with the word "white" in your message.  Tell me if you feel your logic still holds with my version of your rant...

How do you deal with non- progressive whites in society?
This is a serious question. It is getting to a point where if I have to interact in any capacity with anyone who is not a progressive white , my adrenaline runs faster, and if I have to talk with or even be in the vicinity of a non-progressive Republican white (redundancy, I know), I actually start to feel triggered and I get very wary, even in normally non-confrontational situations. For instance, at the place where I play snooker, I tend to treat non-progressives whites with colder resolve and less civility during our frames, even if other outwardly appearances don't reflect this unease.
