CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

People will say the most ridiculous things, out loud, because it sounded so good inside their head. That and they are applauded by the echo chamber of people they surround themselves with. Nothing will bugger them up quicker than being confronted with a counter argument to whatever stupidity they have just allowed to escape out of their mouth.

‘Let me get this straight, you think anyone over 60 should not be allowed to vote because you think they will vote the ‘wrong’ way which is to say they won’t vote the way you think they should ? Do you actually understand how democracy works and have you ever heard of ageism?’

‘Seriously, you think any man who accused of rape should be automatically found guilty and have to prove he didn’t do it because no woman would ever make a false accusation? May I give you a list of names starting with Jemma Beale and Laura Hood’

The responses will range from them trying to justify what they’ve said, claiming that isn’t what they said/meant to screaming insults at you and running away to their ‘safe space’. If they say something like ‘I don’t have to explain my myself to you’ the response is ‘Don’t have to or simply can’t?’

There is this false narrative that we should keep the peace and try not to offend. Why? Why should people be allowed to spout any inane crap they fancy and go unchallenged because they shouldn’t get their feefees hurt?

Be brave, challenge the stupid and the reasoning behind it, watch their world crumble.
