Ok boomer teehee
Many people clearly pride themselves on being unpleasant.
No she doesn’t. That’s Joan Smith, and no she doesn’t. “pol” is short for political, and in any case “pol” doesn’t mean pale in the first place. But being told that wasn’t going to stop the snide pissy Zakaria.
How dare the white feminists point out a dishonest smear of the feminist author of Misogynies?
What a crude vulgar childish brat. I won’t be following her work.
“OK Boomer” stands in place of a logical argument because there is no logical argument. And if there is, Zakaria doesn’t know it.
Well, one see where she honed her debating skills.
I’m not even sure what the appropriate response to “okay, boomer” is. Do you respond in kind with something like, “right-o, kiddo”? Do you point out that “okay, boomer” isn’t even fallacious, as it isn’t even an argument? Do you, as was common on a bbs I frequented in the dark ages, tell them to choke on a barrel of cocks?
That’s the problem with it: it’s not playing the rational discussion game, so the rules and strategies of that game don’t apply.
Reminds me of arguing with The Usuals on FTB, perhaps Gilliel most of all.
My preference is to tell them to “Pull your foreskin over your head and whistle through the hole”.
Fuck off, Zoomer perhaps?
The appropriate response is to leave the conversation because it’s not really a conversation. You may be accused of something like losing the argument, but it’s not an argument in good faith that anyone can win.
Oh no BKiSA, you can’t say that. It would be punching down.
