I agree, like I said, she's a boil, but she obviously still has a pretty big fanbase. So what do we do, to make them realize and ignore her? Because until that happens, they are still powerful.
Sadly, I don't believe there is anything you can do. People who have certain beliefs and values are unlikely to change unless something intense happens in their personal lives.
Her supporters would probably view you as a scumbag (no offense) and anything you suggest as just lies and propaganda. It would be like talking to a wall. I don't think most of her supporters are willing to accept a different POV. As we have seen in this forum, it is rare to see someone change their views on big issues. No one likes to admit they are wrong, on either side of a topic. Yep, they are powerful but that's the way it is. I am certain she has been running around saying moronic things for the past few years but thankfully this is the first time I have heard about her in a long long time. I don't seek out her wisdom and thankfully, mainstream media up here barely knows who she is except for that Fifth Estate interview.
That segment of society will never disappear and engaging in a debate with some people is pointless. So I agree her words probably resonate with some people but so be it. My comment on words was that after years of trying to understand why I was being called a chink by people, I realized that those people are assholes. So why should I fret over what they said about me since they have teeny tiny minds and thus what they say has no weight. I pity these people and their families for such ignorance.
So certain words used by certain people are expected and really mean nothing cause it's their nature. Similar to your view of the KKK's definition of the N-word. I engage with people who display intolerance but just express my views and don't bother to waste my time trying to turn shit into gold if they don't get it. I gotta better things to do in my life.
