Before the bullshit threshold I’m calmly reading what the liberal says, and calmly explaining stuff like:
why capitalism won’t fix itself
why it’s a bad idea to give the Nazi a voice, Weimar Republic style
why all this “my country” thing is inane, and why we should be identifying ourselves first and foremost as human beings
why and how gender and sex are different things
But as the liberal keeps babbling, and enters the bullshit threshold, my attitude suddenly flips to something like “aaaah, cut off the crap! I already explained this, dammit. Do you need to be spoonfed basic [reading comprehension | reasoning]???”
I don’t typically use the word “bootlicker” in English, but in Portuguese I do use “pelego” (kind of the same thing) a fair bit.
For me it’s both, I guess?
