Hey, guys! Here again with another incredibly helpful guide. This time, I would like to teach you everything I know about education.
That's right; in an age where everyone that doesn't agree with what you have to say is a blathering idiot, we all need to know how to best educate the fools that we encounter on a daily basis. Many people have contributed to the discussion on the best tips on this subject, but I think that all of them have missed a key feature of any successful teaching moment.
Some say that the key is empathy--that we must understand the circumstances and systems that create wrong thoughts about others, and sometimes entire groups of people. These folks would tell us that treating idiots that are wrong like people as we seek to correct their wrong thinking is important. What a quaint thought. However, this is an absurd pipe dream that has little place in any social justice warriors arsenal of tactics. The best thing we can do to correct ignorant dumb-dumbs is treat them like they are incapable of higher level thinking—or, really, like they have no cognitive ability at all.
That's right. Berate them and belittle them. They are wrong, and you are right; therefore, you are a much better person than they are. The only way to force people to think like you do is to treat them like a child, or better yet, a wild animal. Strip them of their ability to think autonomously and, if you need to, do so violently. Who am I kidding? There is always a need to get violent. How else are simpletons supposed to learn?
If you do this one thing, you are sure to change everyone's minds, and you will definitely contribute to rational, thoughtful debate on social issues. But, that's not important. What's important is that you are right, and that there is no possibility that what you are right about is a matter of opinion. You are a better person than halfwits. Belittle people. Talk down to them. Yell over them if they try to speak, even if they are seeking to better understand your point of view. This is what a civilized debate is all about. Enjoy the results.
