Anybody have any tips for keeping calm when a chud says their usual callous shit? I'm still a bit piqued from today.

Edit: Thank you all for your helpful comments. I greatly appreciate it.

I just remember that in that moment, their words don't really matter, and my words don't really matter. What matters are the material conditions of the world. They can figuratively stamp their feet and throw a temper tantrum about "woke climate hoax peddlers" all they want. It doesn't change the fact that climate change is very real.

I save my words for other conversations where the other person has a more open mind.

    Sometimes I think none of what we say matters in the grand scheme of things. These people were shaped by their material conditions, incentivized to identify with the misanthropic ideology of the white settlers that built America. The only way I see them changing with material conditions is becoming more conservatized with the unfolding crisis of the 21st century. For any one of us to fight it is like trying to bail out the ocean. I have to keep reminding myself this to keep my composure.
