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 work with them all the time, I usually just let them talk and hear whatever the new bullshit they have to say if anything. I had one guy tell me, first words, "I want to put all blue haired people in nazi style camps."

The sense of pity usually gets me first because I have another human being by me whose entire conscious I can understand and see the limits of and it's pathetic.

Oh you hate the government and liberals, and you want to live on a farm in South Dakota via VA disability, but you also want to be a government contractor? You have two fucked up knees and no feeling in your fingers? Huh.

I've met you already. You're a kind of a guy, not your own person, its pathetic. You have lost the core human experience, instead you are just a kind of guy. You never woke up to this bullshit ass world and found the non-corrupted version of you.

I think being around these people is an opportunity in someway, see evil for what it is kind of thing.
