    They squeal about the very things they do to avoid blame so often that it’s almost a cliche at this point. If they’re accusing, they’re covering.

      “Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

      -Sartre on antisemitism, but I think he nailed the mindset of the abuser just fine. They’re hate filled narcissists, they decide how serious they are by the reaction they receive and what they think they can get away with. Above all they have zero concern for honesty and integrity.

      Is he serious?

      Does it matter?

      He told you what he is and what he represents either way.
