    So you self-admittedly call people “bootlicker” as a reactionary statement, with zero regards to whether or not you could be spitting in the face of someone who is on your side.

    That’s uh… one way to get people on our side.

    You don’t have to be here to be “right”, but you’re not “raising awareness about the parasite class” by calling everyone under the sun a bootlicker because your 2 second assessment tells you that they’re a Reddit apologist. You aren’t helping by insulting anyone who dares speak against the consensus. You’re solidifying the stereotype of the “intolerable left”. You’re pushing away people who might be slightly misguided but otherwise receptive of education. You’re pushing moderates to the right.

    In other words, go off about your opinion, but don’t kid yourself into thinking that this behavior is productive.
