      I have been complimented on my patience with people who either can't or won't have reasonable conversations but I think it might be dying.

      Well, I hope not. Not when confusion is genuine. But I get homicidal urges when I think people are refusing to understand.

      I have endless patience with people who are sincere but genuinely misunderstanding or seeing things through a skewed ideological lens.

      What makes me really, really, really, really, really angry is the people who deliberately misunderstand for an agenda & two main kinds.

      1) The ideologue. Deliberately misreads things, refuses to be corrected as to meaning, makes up own narrative, mean-spirited about it.

      Claims to have society's best interests at heart but really aim is to shut down any approach to social justice but their own & vilify other.

      You can tell this kind of person whether left-wing, right-wing, religious or non-religious. It's not about the views but the attitude.

      In conversations before abt what makes an 'SJW', I've disagreed with people who say its a set of extreme beliefs.

      People can hold them but sincerely & be prepared to discuss them honestly & argue for them & listen to counterviews with aim to understand

      What makes the 'type' that we're all so sick of is the refusal to do any of that but twist, distort & yell 'bigot' at people.

          But at least they are identifiable by everyone else. Far worse, I think, are the 'intellectual defenders of narratives' who seem reasonable.

          I encounter these a lot. They manage to have long, civil, seemingly reasonable conversations in which they seem to address them but don't.

          They pick something close to the problem raised but not the problem raised & rationalise why it's not really a problem.

          This sleight of hand looks very much like addressing the problem unless youre very clear on the nature of the problem &makes it harder to be

          It's essentially sophisticated, evasive apologism for a problem they don't want to break down honestly & it makes me incandescent with rage.

          Because they should know better. If you have much knowledge of a topic & a brain capable of sophisticated analysis, do it properly.
