You are never going to convince the redditor brigade of anything that runs contrary to their slop. The goal when arguing publicly with a Batista defender is not to have a good faith exchange of ideas, it’s to mock and humiliate so that onlookers will associate that person’s politics with being a stammering fascist nerd who well akshually’s in all directions trying to defend the plainly indefensible. The correct response to such a person pulling out the “technically it was sparkling servitude” card is to bully them into the ether for it.
