What are the go-to subjects for revealing the true, regressive beliefs of reactionaries who don't consider themselves reactionary? Off the top of my head:
-Trans people in sports: Major gateway to transphobia and misogyny. Complaints about trans athletes inevitably lead to sexism towards literally any woman with muscles. Pretty sure this is how Joe Rogan and a ton of his supporters became so unhinged.
-Affirmative action: So, so many liberals and "leftists" will complain about how they would've totally gotten into Harvard and Yale if not for The Blacks^tm^. Love to bring up SAT scores even though they've been proven to be racist and classist and a shit metric for intellectual value.
-Shakespeare authorship question: A bit niche. Basically, Curtis Yarvin and other Dark Enlightenment dweebs don't think that Shakespeare was capable of penning such timeless plays because he wasn't rich, and according to them, not rich=dumb and uncreative mental husk.
-Like that thread earlier, if they're from Europe ask them about Roma people. 0 to Klan member real quick usually.
-Thin X line: there is never a good one for this. It's also really funny when people put the red for firefighters when the thin red line was literally an army formation in
. I'm waiting to see a paramedic one but I don't think they've figured out what colour to make it yet. (I also don't live in a country with horizontal lines in the flag so it stands out extra bad lol)
-did they enjoy the movie sound of freedom: if they did they're a reactionary
-kinda related conspiracy theory "enjoyers:" all you have to do is ask who "they" are or why "they" would do anything like what they suggest. These guys operate on advanced antisemitism
this was the first thing that jumped to my mind. i will not apologize for my sin
