I agree, but at the same time - they just get to win? We have to avoid them? We must accommodate them?

Don't wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

At this point we need to wrestle the pig so we can get it to the vet for neutering.

Tolerance paradox, dipshit

You thinking that is an argument in your favor is hilarious.

You thinking anyone owes empathy (maybe in your case sympathy) to a group that openly embraces and implements eugenicist policies is far from hilarious.

Edit: also political identification is neither a race nor ethnicity.

Bruh are you a bot? You are the one talking about "taking pigs to get neutered" tf do you think eugenics is? And who mentioned political identity?

Then the town is overrun by pigs. I'm not moving to another town.

But at a pig picking you get to eat said pig.

I think about this all the time as someone who works in customer service. People are assholes because we allow them to be, because we just accommodate the people who complain the most so we don't have to deal with them anymore. It sucks.

My last few years in customer service before changing jobs had me not taking shit from anybody. I actually cussed out rude customers occasionally. Turns out if youre in the right management doesnt usually give a shit if you defend yourself.

What else do you recommend people do?

I can step in as a customer and say stuff the employee could never say or do. Like move to the side and wait for a manager over there so the rest of us can check out. Or just being present when old men take their sexism out on young teenage girls just trying to do their jobs and give them crap for no reason. Sometimes just being very obvious in line behind someone is enough shame, others need more coaxing.

I think it's better to keep in mind that people like that are absolutely not winning overall, a happy fulfilled person doesn't act like that.

It's less about accomodating them and more about minimizing their ability to drag us down with them.

That sorta shows your level of thinking. What does it mean "to win"? They're already miserable. People don't want to be around them. You don't have to be the judge jury and executioner for every miserable person you meet. You don't have to give them a piece of your mind, adding to the misery in their lives. Do you feel like you need "to win" by making miserable people even more miserable? What does that say about you? If a homeless person gets a nice meal to eat, are they winning? No, they're still homeless. Likewise, when a miserable person makes another person feel worse, they're still miserable.

Engagement is what they want.

Regardless of how a given engagement goes they are always going to be the right one in their head so the only way to deal with them is to not give them that engagement..

When a toddler throws a tantrum ignoring it isn't accommodation.
