Today we're talking about #gamergate and how it can help us understand what has been going on in our culture, just beneath the surface. Understanding that has changed my perspective on how I address certain topics with people I engage with.

"Leftists may have a better product to sell but conservatives know better how to two sell a product."

Did you know? Some studies show that "right-leaning individuals" actually understand that "left-leaning individuals" are more morally sound in their foundations. This is why logic and rationalization is pointless. They don’t need to be good. They don't need to be right. They aren’t trying to win. They are trying to keep the argument going. The argument isn’t supposed to end. They want to kick the can down the road, with no intention of recycling it. 

They are very good at convincing you it's in "good faith", when it is not. Don't engage. Recognize that the "high road" doesn't exist.

(I quote Innuendo Studios a lot, because this creator is incredible and "The Alt-Right Playbook" is required viewing, in my opinion.)
