A sure mark of the fool is someone who, when trying to persuade you, gives an argument that would only persuade them.
This is why woke women are so fast to call you an –ist or –phobe. In the woke mindset, there’s no greater dishonour or insult than failing to accept everything except conservatism.
But to the average person, that line of attack fizzles.
One of two things happens:
The person knows themselves well enough to know they’re not intolerant.
Or the person knows themselves well enough to know they are.

Telling Christians we have to accept illegal immigrants into our neighbourhoods doesn’t fly.
It sure sounds like a great argument. Jesus was unambiguous about loving your neighbour – and the parable of the Good Samaritan tells us our neighbour could be someone poor, wretched and hated.
Sounds airtight.
But there are two versions of the immigrant that politicians talk about.

Christians absolutely should help the first type, but not even Jesus you have to let enemy combatants pitch their tents in your yard. Especially when doing so would hurt the neighbours you already have.

Don’t let anti-human globalists trick you into thinking there’s only one way to care for violent thugs – and that’s by letting them live next door.
An obvious lie, but I’m on X. I see how many folks believe it.
And, no, this isn’t a race thing. It’s a cultural thing.
Obviously, since that’s common to most civilisations.
But anyway, none of that matters.
What matters is being stronger and more virtuous. All Good things flow from that.
How, you ask?
A great question.
Here’s the answer:
