I said something similar to another friend a few weeks ago. I told her that that ilk could not be persuaded. She disagreed with me vehemently, saying that if we simply found the correct words, we could reach them. I love her, but I laughed at her naivete. There is no common ground to be found with them because they want me IN the ground, not above it.
When I was five years old, my Eastern European grandmother who managed to survive Lenin, Hitler, and Stalin, sat me down in the farmyard one summer and told me something I have absolutely no argument with. She said "Communists are devils".
Irreconcilable differences don’t even begin to cut it. These fucks are nothing more than enemies. Nothing. As usual, you said it so much better, though. A great read.
This 100%: “arguing with committed leftists is useless. They are fixated by ideology, impervious to logic, and dedicated to achieving power any way possible. Grievance politics is just one way of trying to do that, as the victimization gambit has proven profitable to that end.” These people are not persuadable. And they are in charge of the DOJ, FBI, CIA, most other federal government agencies, entertainment industries, most media, Big Tech, and most universities. They MUST be stopped at all costs or we will all end up in their Gulags or dead. What is to be done?
You should dig deeper into the mindset of the guy behind Amagansett Press, who's an anti-authority gadfly himself. Look at all his videos giving police a hard time just because he can. Tiresome attitude, just like Antifa drones.
All you have to do is look at the facial expressions of leftists when you make a cogent argument. Disbelief, contempt, smirks, anger, denial, unrecognition, or a combination of these. Never, never a consideration of the facts presented. This is from decades of experience with friends, family, acquaintances, colleagues, strangers. It's totally useless. They work from the stance that power is the necessary component, not reason, unfortunately.

As has been often noted, you can't reason a person out of something he never reasoned himself into.

Protestors "Everyone is welcome here"
Spot the irony.
