"Use of polite language in an argument leads to perception of weakness"

Another reason why being nice when your shit’s on the line isn’t going to get you anywhere. 

Yeah, basically, I think when you play too much into that ‘be polite so people will listen’ thing you actually reinforce disparate power dynamics that allow more privileged people to believe they’re doing you a FAVOUR by listening, so you’re still at a disadvantage. 

Well, I’ll be damned.

Fuck all of you emotional-appeal sellouts. Fuck you to the very core of your sellout being.

FUCK POSERS!
