It does not work. The useless crybaby social justice warriors are narcissistic asswipes who simply want attention or to think they get to stick it to the establishment. The jackass protestors on my train one hot summer night after work probably didn’t expect me to react so angrily , I called each of them every name in the book and I’m glad I saw tears from one of them.
