Nearest I can figure, it appears a lot of these "right-winger" guys resort to the schoolyard name-calling strategy because it actually does trigger the absolute mcfuck outta the feral "left-winger" drone people, who, in almost all cases, immediately fly off the handle—devolving into a state of full blown hysteria.
Ain't gonna deny, it's pretty fuckin' funny sometimes.
However, and I'm sure it is overtly apparent, the same schoolyard name-calling strategy simply does not elicit the same extreme degree of triggering from anyone who doesn't identify with the "left-wingers".
As an example of what I mean, your post demonstrates that the schoolyard name-calling merely elicited very minor irritation and your response was fairly measured.
That is to say, the childish name-calling did not do sweet fuck all beyond backfiring & making the name caller look foolish—although he's usually not a fool.
Yet in this case he has acted a fool due to the subconscious triggering elicited by someone highlighting an inconvenient truth the "right-wingers" are so desperate to hide from.
In general, the "left" exist in a state of collectively perpetuated delusionality—it is their identity—without which, they believe they, as individuals, would simply cease to exist. Obviously it is completely absurd, but that's just the nature of delusional ideological viruses.
While on the other hand, in general, the "right" also exist in/& identify with a very similar state of collectively perpetuated ideological delisionality—yet it is to a significantly lesser degree than the retarded "left". And the "right-wingers" consistently prove they are still quite capable of independent thought & action. Whereas the "left-wingers" rarely ever do so.
Of course, I'm framing this in generalized terms for brevity.
As I'm sure almost anyone can see the "left" & "right" are certainly not the only major ideological collectives active in the field. Since obviously there are countless variations of these political "left"/"right" idolaters and there are many non-political idolaters....all of which fail to recognize individuality in preference for ideological collectivism. They are possessed of corrupted beliefs that their existence depends upon perpetuating the group identity.
All collective idolaters aggressively resist facing any truthes which would shatter their identity because it is essentially equivalent to death in the minds of the deluded. It's that simple.
Furthermore still, there are those who just don't give even the slightest shit about identifying with any ideological collectives. This does not mean they are perfect or impervious to making fuck ups, yet because they are individuated, they are free from corrupted collective ideological possessions, thus they are more readily able to utilize our intrinsic capacities for resilience.
Schoolyard name-calling has little to no effect on such individuals, as you-yourself have proven.
John called you a fag.
You didn't become triggered, but merely irritated slightly.
Yesterday you threw a steaming wad of name-calling towards me over @nzfsf.nz which, by comparison to John's one liner, was vastly more pervasive from an objective pov. . . . and yet...
how did I respond to your vacuous name-calling?
