Had a weird conversation with a Magat. During the conversation I said something that upset him. So, I apologized that I had "offended" him.
He spent the next ten minutes angerly insisting that he never gets "offended". It was very strange. He wanted me to know he wasn't like the "Liberals" who get "offended by everything". It was like I had called him a sow boy or something. He totally equated being offended with being weak.
Very strange how some people think.
Think. Again.

(782 posts)Living in the real world requires resilience. Maturity allows for the possibility that someone else could be right. Or that both people could be right.
Remember the allegory of the blind men and the elephant?
Resilience allows one to bend. Rigidly causes one to break.
(PS - this very concept will cause MAGAts heads to explode)

(8,522 posts)therefore i believe the accurate nuance is not yet found. i believe the answer is not inherently related to politics
each view had a motivation that was strong enough to emerge from silence to conversation.
i would ask what is the motivation

(33,327 posts)It's one of their favorite pejoratives when it comes to liberal men, frequently followed up with the word "cuck." (Oh, the irony in that one!) Because, supposedly, liberal men eat a lot of soy products, which allegedly feminizes them , so therefore they are weak. This is the kind of shit guys like Joe Rogan have been feeding to them for years.
It sounds to me like this guy was having reality dawn on him, and he was trying to rationalize his way out of it. He's in for a really rude awakening...

They have no idea how much of a turnoff the caveman act is. Even if you remove any political views from everything. The "tough" guy just comes off as insecure and like a buffoon.

(33,327 posts)Regardless of their age or what they look like. It's the whole "caveman" thing. But, in the media I tend to visit, the ones with known liberal views seem to get "soy boy" hurled at them the most--even the ones who are middle-aged, and married with children. It's really pathetic, if you ask me. Bunch of Joe Rogan wannabes, and he's one of the biggest buffoons of all.

Oh, and they certainly engage in herd prey animal behavior. Do NOT stand nearby when their herd panics and mindlessly stampedes. They always sense danger, perhaps rightly, but never stop to actually look to the real source of the threats to their well being. Example: November 6, 2024.

Never try to debate them. Just come across as being personally happy and not letting them get to you and that will alsoi set them off.
