Simplest comeback:
Edit: Also, have you noticed how people who call themselves "nerds" usually tend to be the opposite? As in, hyperfashionable, trend followers, hypersocial etc.

Thats pretty good, unfortunately I wouldnt even get to the second word of that sentence before he relentlessly interrupted me. People like that arent really interested in thinking critically, they just want to get that high of "being right" which in his mind = shutting down the opponents speech enough times that he gives up trying to talk. Its sad as hes as old as me and has SEEN . . .or at least been of the age where you start to wake up, during the second iraq war and how the media was pushing the fuck out of that war, and then again when they blew all their loads trying and succeeding to censor Ron Paul, ALL of this and he STILL believes CNN and likes to coin "Fake News" and "Alternative facts" like hes the fucking apolstle of Soros or something. The fact that he pretty much eats up all of the MSN without thinking even though hes supposedly a smart guy, really saddens me honestly. I mean if he just took like 30 minutes and thought about all the crap hes been fed, or better yet, read the U.S. Constitution and compare it to what the MSN is telling him to want, hed figure something would be up.
But Fuck it, I cant be assed to deal with someone who doesn`t want to unplug themselves, they have to figure it out the hard way, or die early in ignorance.

That is a good question. I kind of ignore that, and most people dont really themselves that I know of but, I kind of just see at least the other Males I meet, as either "Cuck", or "Notacuck" usually I meet a lot of people who fall into the "notacuck" catagory, and its not even about supporting Trump over hilary or knowing a lot about whats going on (although they tend to trend that way anyway) its more like the kind of people youd meet are the kind of people youd want to hang outwith or check out girls with, usually those kinds of people NEVER talk about politics in public(or at work). It seems like the act of not being a cuck makes avoiding cucks extremely easy. Usually.
