An important part of conservative rhetoric is turning the conversation away from the actual subject matter and toward some inane argument by analogy. "Capitalism is when you have two cows," etc.
Also BSE
You live in capitalism. You have no cows. You have to sell yourself into wage slavery so you can have milk to survive.
some woke commies tell you milk isn't vegan. you become even more capitalist.
milk is vegan if you leave babies in the woods and a she-wolf suckles them instead of eating them
The few times this has worked brought on regrettable consequences
Under capitalism, if you are working class, you're one of the cows
Yep, conservatives prefer to speak in terms of abstractions. The first step in dealing with them is to ground it in concrete terms. Instead of “immigrants” talk about specific people/situations. Instead of “lazy workers” talk about your own difficulty avoiding burnout when doing overtime for months on end. Etc.
It's usually a pretty good indicator that the furthest theyve looked into a matter themselves is finding out about the analogy that they're repeating
