RE: My Sister the SJW and our Eclipse Encounter

I reckon you are correct. Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist, has an interesting blog, although he's quite dedicated to the Trump presidency, and perhaps a mite smug. He advocates awaiting the proper moment, when cognitive dissonance renders fragile the cementitious amalgam of Orwellian doublethink, and proffering reason only then, when SJWs are most susceptible.

This makes quite a bit of sense, probably exactly what you mean by 'shock therapy'.

But, sadly, I am not prepared to hover about suffering until just the right moment. My sister is an adult, has responsibility for use of her own faculties, and will bear the consequences of her decisions, regardless of my concern.

I simply have a responsibility to myself to prevent my own debilitation through her, or anyone's, misguided conceit, self-delusion, and pandering to power. I'm no good at pandering anyway, as our falling out shows.

As intolerable as American SJWs are, I expect that Deutschland, having half a century of self-imposed shame and guilt driven into it's philosophical heart by merciless propaganda, is considerably less tolerable. I doubt I could live long outside of jail in a country where it is against the law to question history.

I'd do it just because it was illegal =p. Prolly that same impulse to rebel is what caused me to bring up the ADA, anyway. Every time I bit my tongue around my sister, my blood pressure made it just a little harder than the time before, and encouraged her to do it again just a little bit sooner.

I just couldn't do it. I suck at sucking up.
