The nervous laughter icons are gratifying!

[justoffal]

Alinsky always advocated the use of ridicule as an effective tool. Why would we need ridicule? It certainly wouldn't be to prove something that's already false....false. So ridicule exists primarily to counter the truth. It is an effective tool because humans as social creatures care a whole hell of a lot more than we admit about what our fellow man thinks. In fact we care enough to invent entire systems of control to force our thoughts on other people. When that doesn't work ridicule is handy as a plan B and also as a pseudo enforcement tool. So when you see nervous laughter icons following your posts you can be fairly certain that you've touched on a truth someplace that someone doesn't like.

There aren't too many things in this country more worthy of absolute contempt and ridicule than bed wetting liberals.

Don't confuse a belly laugh with nervous laughter.

Ridicule is an effective tool. Evil and disgusting things should be mocked, or they will become normalized. The Enemy will mock things that are good, it is our duty to mock things that are bad. This is why things like homosexuality and trannies have become “normalized” in society, we haven’t mocked and ridiculed them enough.

Jo, if I'm not mistaken, you need to have included a link in your post here.

But it's a great post!

Passive-aggressive jerking off, for shitlibs who have no argument.

Agreed.

The problem is when headlines trumpet stories about violent attacks on ______. Then the next thing you know, the DNC has a victim group and can create a narrative that any criticism is the character of a fascist. That's how they took a bunch of marginalized freaks who should have been kept in closets and exalted them as heroes who built the foundation of the country through their struggle for equality or some other lofty soft steaming pile of concentrated BULLSHIT.

I looked-up what a nervous laughter icon is and I'll be damned if I have ever seen one here.

A few over use that silliness.

Ignore them, it's the action of a small mind and wannabe

Sometimes it's easier to post an icon than to engage in a logical argument.

They use it when they can't counter

They use it when they can't counter

Or when an alleged “argument” is so incredibly vacant and non existent that engaging in discussion is pointless.

Social justice warriors (and don't let anyone fool you, they exist on both supposed ''sides'') largely rely upon shaming tactics. And particularly in social media settings such as this. Most often by slandering whomever it is that they might view as an opponent with labels that do not really apply to their targets. They do this with the intent of trying to control their so-called opponent's arguments and behavior.

Unfortunately, that works on a lot of people, because people care too much about what other people think about them.

And that's also why you get the same kind of people openly talking about who liked or disliked whatever other post of someone elses.

They're trying to get ''the group'' to follow along with the shaming tactic so the person they're targeting might be group shamed into just shutting up, and then you get the gang warfare shenanigans. It's infantile shit. Not to mention amateur.

Thought police only have the power that you give them. If you don’t care about being called a bigot, a racist, a sexist, an antisemite or whatever else they wanna throw at you that you know doesn't actually apply to you or to whatever given argument that you're making just to shut you up so that they can control the terms of controversy in a given conversation (and the tenor of the board itself in some instances) on their own terms, then what else can they really do except for to actually debate your free thinking? I'll tell you what. Nothing. But they don't want that. And there's a lot of reasons for why they don't want that. Which is why they run with the shaming tactics instead.

Say what you wanna say, when you wanna say it, and screw em if they don't like it. And above all else, make it known to the justice warrior that their feelings are not important and do not matter. And that they are not entitled to having their personal fears or feelings addressed. And that you will not relinquish your liberty to speak freely and relevantly in order to placate their fears, feelings or agendas.

There's a lot of that going on here.
