“If my head weren't screwed on to my neck with these high quality bolts, I would probably lose the damn thing.” – Malcolm X
The key to winning any dispute, above all, is persistence. By standing your ground, you allow others to determine that you are absolutely unwilling to bolt from your principles, even when they are highly unethical and/or irrational. More importantly, even if they do not appreciate your moral sanctimony, they will still be forced to come to terms with your differing opinion, for it is only a matter of time before they grow tired of defending their own credibility. A lost cause is not one worth fighting, which is much of the reason that the United States is substantially winding down its military operations in Iraq. Neoconservative imperialists eventually grew unable, particularly by the time of the 2006 midterms, to put forward their theories without being met with uncontrollable guffaws and only semi-playful hissing. No doubt the present administration operates in awareness of the fact that its troop withdrawal and associated media spectacle could serve to remind the ideologically volatile public of what a certain party does when it has control of the military, incidentally causing an outrageously disproportionate amount of harm in regards to the “deficit,” which allegedly is a really important issue to a lot of overweight white people with a sudden bout of political motivation.
I've gone off on a tangent here, though, so let's get back to issue at hand, namely beating the shit out of your enemies. When being persistent and overly vulgar in sharing your independent (indie?) viewpoint, you also need to be fully aware at all times of the physical threat posed to you by those around you, and to always have basic techniques for self-defence ready to use once shit escalates to the next level. For example, perhaps someone asks you what you had for breakfast yesterday, but they have a spiteful look in their eyes, topped off with a grimace that is painful in its self-enjoyment. You should immediately punch them in the face, move back, and then go on as if nothing happened. What are they going to do, punch you back? That is a possibility, actually.
After following the advice presented here too literally, one may find themselves resting in a hospital, and should this happen to you it is wholly necessary that you follow these precautions:
a. Do not eat any medicine the doctors give you, unless they specify that it will cause sedation, hallucinations, and/or paranoia;
b. Do not eat any of the food provided in the hospital (vending machines excepted);
c. Do not sustain amicable interactions with any staff, who are trying to drug you so that you will begin worshiping the New World Order, praying in the direction of Mecca while drinking soy latte and feasting on tofu blocks, all in a largely successful attempt to distract you from the brainwashing that begins to take place as soon as you consume “paracetamol” or “oxybutynin” (among many others).
