If you don't want to be talked down to. Stop acting like you need to be. It's not "liberal" boogymen doing this. It's sane people. And if you behave sane or ask for help, they'll compassionately extend a helping hand. Every time.

But this is the problem with people who victimize themselves. They created the problem themselves and they don't want to solve it because it means undoing what they've done. Or admitting that they were wrong. So they simply double down and nowadays find other insane people who will confirm their reality defying beliefs. Mistaking ignorant confirmation bias for compassion.
