i just flip it immediately and stun them into silence

“I know, you can’t even kill landlords anymore. Political correctness gone mad”

(as much as this sounds like a “and then everyone clapped and the lecturer was Albert Einstein” scenario, I said this out loud at a pub and got at least 5 reactions. At least some of my friends laughed)

When we had office debates / arguments about the government wanting to digitally spy on all citizens. The chuds that think “terrorists bad, so government spying good” always used to make the “nothing to hide? Nothing to fear” argument. I’d always do like you said and play along. “Yeah dude, anyway pass me your phone?” “Why?” “I want to read your texts and go through your photos” “Fuck off” “What’s the matter? Nothing to hide? Nothing to fear”. They never made that argument again.
