[QUOTE="fiasco360, post: 1179169, member: 8908"] I don't know if this is exactly the best strategy overall. Some of these people are so deluded they don't know they are being hypocritical. They have off-the-wall rationalizations for their thinking. This leaks into the mainstream and the useful idiots go "Yeah racism!" The point of fighting back isn't because it's going to somehow convert them to your side but it's to win allies who were previously scared, confused or only exposed to one side. We have completely ignored them for many years and we have reaped those "benefits." Look at the republicucks who got destroyed on accusation alone. It's at least somewhat acceptable in the last few years to fight this nonsense with something resembling logic and reason - where as before you risked losing your livelihood for being racist or sexist (still happens but people are fighting back now.) Regardless Twitter is mostly a trash can anyway. [/QUOTE]
