There’s a right & wrong way to tell someone they’re wrong.
Less is more, if someone says something you believe to be wrong, a simple ‘I don’t think that’s true/correct’ is all that’s needed. When you follow the (erroneous) formula of…
calling the person out + add d*ckish condescending insult/’helpful fact’ + ‘how could you not know that?!’ automatically is grounds for an even b*tchier retort from the person you insulted, & makes you fair game for a much needed (literal) smack in the face.
F.Y.I.
