Over the years, plenty of people have tried to brow beat me into doing what they wanted. Actually, they usually tried to brow beat me into not doing what they didn't want.
Their tactics were simple, like a Rubik's Cube with the same colour on all six sides. They'd either raise their voices and talk down to me as though they had authority or they'd try to make me feel ashamed of doing the right thing. I'd go so far as to say that these tactics work on the majority of people most of the time, but not me. I listened to metal songs about respect and strength when I was growing up, making me impervious to lesser men!
Name Calling
I’ve recently seen the term ‘virtue signaling’ being used as a pejorative with increasing frequency. It’s typically used by those who want to bully people into not making a compelling case that may be a major factor in deciding an argument.
Those same people also use the term ‘social justice warrior’ as a pejorative. The fact that they try to insult people by calling them something which is undeniably good just shows their deficiencies. Are there supplements that they could take?
Be a social justice warrior and signal the hell out of its virtue. Anyone who speaks against you is only signalling that they're afraid of you.
