Hello everyone I hope we're all well on this glorious April (2018) afternoon in Sydney Australia.
So a couple of days ago I posted on Facebook and asked all of you
if you had anything in particular you'd like me to make a video on and it had a
really great response, so thank you all for that. I read through all of them
there are a few that stood out. There was one actually from Jeff who wanted to
know how individuals could take practical steps to navigate through our
various battles with the "social justice warrior left". And then another one from
Warren who quite sensibly asked how he could help navigate his son through this
frightening leftist world. So thank you very much Jeff and Warren for your
questions. Now the left has a very particular way of attacking they're very
aggressive and they're very noisy and they're very organized. So I think in our
case the best defense we have is a good offense. What I have put together then is
what I would like to call "Daisy's Five Point Plan For Thrashing Leftists".
So point number one is know your facts. This is extremely important and stating
the bleeding obvious but still so important know your facts, know your data,
know your numbers, know your sources know all of that and be able to just rattle
it off on particular topics at the drop of a hat because I guarantee you the
left won't know your facts. They won't even know their facts the only data they
seem to have from my experience a kind of these superficial sort of
decontextualized statistics like the gender pay gap in Australia stands at 84
cents to a man's dollar. We all know why that's superficial. Now if you can arm
yourself with their facts as well as your own then you will obviously be able
to parry them with everything they throw at you. So my advice would be to read
everything, watch everything but just make sure you are filling your head with
good sources. The very good sources you should have, because your sources have to
be good or you just end up in conspiracy theory land and that is not good for
anyone, so government statistics are good. So in Australia
you've got the Australian Bureau statistics, America's the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and the UK it's the Office of National Statistics -- very boring names
but that means the sources are good. Any kind of University study, peer-reviewed
journals. I would very much recommend Pew Research and Gallup poll which are two
self-confessed-ly nonpartisan sources and they really just deal with data
which is extremely important and another piece of advice there are lots of
wonderful opinion pieces written out there. Go through every hyperlink in
every opinion piece you read click on it and check the source or you will just
end up in tin foil hat land which is not good. Final piece of advice on this point
do not enter into an argument unless you are an expert on the topic because you
will lose and it will not be fun. Point number two remove the moral high ground.
Now this is something that I have pulled semi-straight out of the Ben Shapiro
playbook and he calls it, rather than removing the moral high ground, he calls
it removing the " you're an asshole complex". Basically so according to Ben and he's
correct the left's only argument is character assassination. It is at the
very core of everything that they do. They genuinely believe that calling
someone racist, sexist, bigoted, ignorant, etc is a legitimate argument technique
and the reason for this is that they have remained unchallenged for such a
long time in the public cultural arena that they think any kind of conservative
opposing argument is not only wrong but evil and therefore shouldn't exist in
the first place. I mean I had a lefty friend once who said to me that on the
subject of abortion he thought the pro-life argument shouldn't exist and he
used those words, which is a little scary. But in the face of that you have to get
in really quickly and stop them from claiming the moral high ground and
putting you on the moral backfoot and the way to do that is just to use their
own tactics against them. So I'll give you an example say a feminist says to
you "the gender pay gap an example that women are paid less than
men for the same work and therefore women are oppressed" now of course the
answer to that is "no actually the gender pay gap is simply a lump sum of the
average earnings of a man versus a woman throughout the course of the year and is
largely influenced by life choices and the different types of industries that
men and women tend to enter into" now a feminist response to that will be to get
hysterical and say you take my context for instance as a conservative woman she
will just say "you're capitulating to the patriarchy, you're denying women's
experiences, you don't care about women and and you're only saying these things
for attention" now I have two options in this situation I can either get
defensive and say "no I do care about women" or I get hit back with "no actually
I'm just not a liar and I want to empower women, you on the other hand seem
to want women to feel bad about themselves by lying to them and
insisting that their gender is always going to be some sort of invisible
barrier against all the things they want to achieve in life, so it seems to me
that actually you're the one that doesn't care about women and you're the
one who's simply saying things for attention" so you see you flip it around
you watch their minds get absolutely blown and you have wonthe point very
quickly. All right point number three don't interrupt now
this can be quite hard because it is often very irritating listening to a
leftist opine as they do but promise me -- don't interrupt.
Just let them talk and talk no matter how annoying or silly you're finding
them the more they talk the worst they will make themselves look and as such
the more ammunition you will have to make your comeback and that also puts
you in a very handy position that when you start to present your arguments when
they interrupt you and they will because remember they don't think your argument
should exist because it's evil you have the privilege of being able to say
"excuse me please don't interrupt I let you talk how about you let me talk" and
there is no way they can counter that without looking like a baby.
So they have to sit there pouting while you continue to make your argument and
systematically annihilate them with reason, logic and fact it's a very handy
tip -- don't interrupt. Point number four point out the personal attacks. Now
earlier on I mentioned that leftists think that personal attacks are a
legitimate form of argument. When I first entered into the sort of political
debate conversation sphere I thought that people who just threw around words
like racist, sexist, homophobic, etc did so just because they were lacking in facts
but as time progressed I realized that even if they had facts they would still
call me those names because they have been so programmed into believing that
that is a true legitimate way to win a debate which as we know it is not. Now
they do this in three ways they have three lines of attack with this the
first is the really aggressive name-calling so bigot, homophobe,
misogynist, sexist and in recent times it's been up to Nazi fascist, white-
supremacists and I think now white genocide is being introduced which is
very interesting. The second line of attack they take with this is they will
insult your intelligence so try to de-legitimize you so you'll get called
uneducated, unenlightened, ignorant is the big one. The final way they do this and
they do it when I think they're feeling a bit sort of gentler maybe they've had
a nicer morning, had a nice breakfast or something and they do a kind of
passive-aggressive attack of your morality so they say that you're lacking
in empathy or you need to be compassionate or you need to be tolerant
or you need to be accept-ant or all of those things. And they're very nice kind
of warm and fuzzy buzz words that they use which makes them feel good however
it proves to the rest of us that they actually don't have any intellectual
substance when it comes to a debate situation. Now when I worked that out
it was quite handy because it allowed me to kind of change my tactic
so rather again than getting defensive in those situations I started pointing
it out pointing very specifically to the words
that they used and flipping it on them by saying basically you can't argue with
an opinion so say a sjw's having a rant at me and calling me ignorant, racist,
bigoted, whatever I'd say "okay" again I wouldn't interrupt I'd let them talk and
then say "right that was a lovely slab of your opinion you just gave me now what's
your argument" and honestly when I started doing that it just works a treat
because they have absolutely nothing to come back with and you can push it as
hard as you want like another technique is actually memorizing the words and
reciting them back counting them out and saying "great you've called me all of
these labels where's your argument that's not an argument" it is a pretty
much foolproof way to at the very least throw them before you hit them with the
final fact and win the debate in full. Point number five don't let them make
you angry I cannot stress how important this is because they will try to get a
reaction out of you they will insult you, they will yell at
you, they will belittle you, they will attempt to ridicule you and by that I do
mean attempt because they remember the left isn't funny
they think they are but they're not but they'll still try and it will frustrate
you they will use a whole lot of underhanded tactics to rile you up don't
let them now you can get fired up you can get passionate about what you're
talking about but keep it high-energy as Donald Trump would say rather than
aggressive or hysterical because hysteria, let's face it it is a left-wing
thing all right just leave that to the left leave them to get angry will just
remain grounded. So stay mellow, stay cool, stay happy, keep a nice big smile on your
face and land those points with a hint of humor and in the debate arena against
the regressive left you cannot lose. If you like that video please remember
