Jillian Michaels stormed off the set of her show during a heated segment with The Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian, who derided Michaels on her way out.
TFW political discourse has devolved to a level where criticizing Netanyahu is equivocated with antisemitism. No one, and I mean no one would accuse you of hating Kyrgystanis for critiquing Sadyr Japarov. No one. Michaels couldn’t even participate in the debate without getting offended and making a dramatic exit, it’s fucking pathetic.
I grew up with narcissists who understood the theater of arguing. If you act offended enough, there’s a good chance you can convince bystanders the other person did something wrong. But you have to seize the narrative. That part is already mostly done, so all it takes to fan flames is to throw tantrums.

That’s less than encouraging, and my condolences on your first 20-30 years dealing with that bullshit.
