You shore do rite rill purdy like!

Seriously, you just wrote what I try to say damn near every day...just with a far better handle on the English language...and far fewer cuss words.

I tend to be more confrontational, I've become intolerant of their intolerance to everyone that isn't one of them. I just blast away with pretty much an uncut observation and brutal critique of their position. Derisive laughter is also used frequently.

I understand where you come from, and I used to think that we could join together in keeping this planet healthy...but there are Authoritarians in this world, and a whole shitload of people that can't help but to follow them. Some can be reasoned with and enlightened, but some just can't handle the cognitive dissonance. So they shut out the opposing reality because reflection just makes them too uncomfortable.

Luckily, those types are fairly easy to recognize after talking to them for a bit. They can't help but let their hate slip, then I got 'em.
