I use bullet points; they probably learned it from me. Sorry.

It was from another username that I don't hugely want to link to here, sorry. It only had a handful of votes iirc.
Now explain how to convince nazis with facts and logic
I am actually ok with this
I have a bash quote about me.
... or did. bash is gone now.
Sorry, but he's driving up to a mcdonalds, not a festering heap of shit. Fix your meme.
STOP GETTING OUT OF THE WAY
Stay at your post for fuck's sake. Make them fight you. Drag it out, make it slow and expensive, make them look bad.
Don't just offer them your chair and the keys to the kingdom and tell them here let your stooge take over, have fun
Apart from concerted sociopolitical efforts to make an underclass that can be harmed at will and blamed for everything, there's a couple of less deliberately malicious explanation for a lot of people.
1: Category violation -> perversion -> predator -> monster.
2: I don't think it's real -> they are lying -> why would they lie about gender -> to lull people into a false sense of security -> predator -> monster
Both are of course incredibly false and hateful, and both of course are pushed maliciously and cynically by many, but I think some people are actually taken in by one or other of these.

It was the mid-90s, and just a shell account. Gopher, archie, pine and zmodem.
We didn't get PPP access for a year or two; this was the days before google - yahoo, altavista, some other engines I can't remember, and metasearch engines like dogpile that would query a bunch of different search engines and return the combined set of results.
This was the days of mailing lists and usenet for the most part - connect up, download messages for like an hour, then log off, read and reply, then log on and send.
I was there for the original hamsterdance, and it ruled.
NPD and BPD are both driven by an eternal sucking void of insecurity and negative self-esteem that can never be filled.
Narcissists try to fill it with praise and social status, or failing that, power and subjugation.
Borderlines try to fill it with limerence and victimhood or failing that, revenge.
But it can't ever be filled - it's worse than addiction, worse than being underwater in some shitty MLM scheme. It takes and takes and takes because fuck you, pay me.
So they don't have friends or loved ones, they have hosts. They suck out all the goodness until there's nothing left to give, then they start in on the pain.
Assholes, in the other hand, are just driven by simple greed, callousness and lack of consideration. They can and do still hurt people of course, but it's not an all-consuming obsessive need.
