Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for May 10, 2022

This is good to unleash on haters: I’m sorry I hurt your feelings with my opinion. Please hang on while I call Whine-one-one to get you a Waaambulance.

“We live in times where smart people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.”

Unfortunately the truth doesn’t change the hater’s belief in the lies they live with.

I don’t think you’re REALLY sorry, I know I’m not.

So Aunty, you’re trying to tell us you’ve never lied?

We are living in interesting times when people have proven the human ability for self-delusion.

Not only people, but political parties, states and whole nations fall victim to believing their own propaganda, eventually to their detriment.

too often it’s an opinion and not the truth. best advise if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.

We learn so much from you.

You can keep your lies if that makes you happy. Stay out of my truth.

What do we hear more of—Explanations of excuses OrProclamations of successes?

someone who generalizes about “haters” usually wants to say “people who disagree with me” and auntie’s “truth” is pretty selective at best. but she’s entertaining from time to time…

Unfortunately there are a LOT of people this message could be directed to.It’d be nice to put them all in a permanently locked room and give each of them a hammer, tell them everyone disagrees with their opinions and say go for it.
