Just saying, nobody will ever win this argument.
from the Bulwark aka The Weekly Standard reincarnated
The scissor is a statement, an idea or a scenario that’s somehow perfectly calibrated to tear people apart — not just by generating disagreement, but by generating total incredulity that somebody could possibly disagree with your interpretation of the controversy, followed by escalating fury and paranoia and polarization, until the debate seems like a completely existential, win-or-perish fight.
It doesn’t activate until you start discussing it with somebody. At first you just think they’re an imbecile. Then they call you an imbecile, and you want to defend yourself. Crescit eundo. You notice all the little ways they’re lying to you and themselves and their audience every time they open their mouth to defend their imbecilic opinion. Then you notice how all the lies are connected, that in order to keep getting the little things like the Scissor statement wrong, they have to drag in everything else.
Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
I have to chuckle when folks wonder where the chaperones could be. These are fine young men who showed a lot of composure given the circumstances. The restraint shown should be used as an example of good character,which is typical of a catholic school. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I don’t think you drink so what have you been huffing? Watch the video, that’s not maturity and poise. It’s at best stupid teenage behavior and at worse MAGA influenced stupidity.
Tomorrow I’m going to watch the video with my son and instruct him, in that situation, don’t do that. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Jeff,make sure you tell him to scream in somebody’s face so he can get slapped and learn not to be a douchebag. A lesson you should take note of. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
