#Thread Much as I detest the libt@rds, there are 5 things we can learn from them. 1) Unity - You may not agree with everything everyone says on our side. Okay to express disagreement, but don’t mock or disparage. Better still, learn to ignore. You don’t have to react every time.
2) Never apologise. Sometimes you will make mistakes. Coz you are not a libt@rd, your conscience that will prick you. Well, delete if you must, express ‘regret’ if you want - but only to YOUR readers. Do NOT apologise. Ever seen any libt@rd apologise for their deliberate lies?
3) Whataboutery is a great tool in the libt@rd arsenal. Have you noticed how almost all their arguments start with ‘but but but, what about...?’ Well, it is a great tool for us to use as well, but use it sparingly, and only when you absolutely need it.
4) Use of jargon. It is not that libt@rds say anything that is exceptionally smart. They just use better vocabulary and use obtuse jargon. No reason why we can’t do it. Learn keywords like subaltern, alt-left and heteronormativity and use them judiciously. Libt@rds hate that.
5) Labelling - remember how libt@rds never respond to your arguments but label you as ‘Sanghi communal’ etc etc, to discredit YOU? No reason why you can’t use labels like ‘urban naxal’, ‘extremoliberal’ or ‘woke idi0t’ to describe them. Two can play this game. Just don’t abuse.
