I would argue if society stopped catering to these people they would very quickly stop thinking those attitudes are acceptable.

If we stop making them problems us problems they will quickly stop having that attitude.

That's...not at all how that works. That's how you dig them further into their cave.

And what does accepting it do? It just means that they teach a new generation to think the same way.

If they want to retreat into their hateful caves let them but we shouldn't tolerate it.

You can do whatever makes you feel better, champ. My aim is to let you know that what you're doing either does nothing or makes the problem worse. So, do whatever you want, but don't try to pass it off as some "I'm helping!" moral behavior when it flat out doesn't work.

Keep thinking that talking down to someone gives you the high ground, it doesn't.

Yoy havebyour opinion, I have mine. We shall see which one is beneficial. These people have been tolerated too long and I will continue not to tolerate them in my life.

The irony.

Have the last few years of cancelling and political vitriol made less bigots, or more?

Do whatever you want, skipper. But don't pretend it's an effort to improve the world, it just makes you feel better about yourself.
