Twit War

I hardly ever get involved in contention on the internet, particularly the social channels like Youtube and Facebook.  I don't participate in Instagram or Twitter, even though I signed up for accounts.  Today I inadvertantly fell into a twit war.  Sadly my opponent is named Mindy which is the slightly unusual name of my youngest grandchild.  She is evidently very 'woke' although it seems she is a champion of some very dubious thinking about technology and populations.  She dismissed theTed talk of a environmental engineer who is returned life to desert areas after doing lots of harm with conventional methods that included destroying 40,000 elephants. When I gently rebutted her claim that populations can be easily reduced and that mankind would be better with a pre-industrial, pre capitalist system she attacked my lack of knowledge of the meaning of words.  At any rate I left the conversation at last with a simple question of how long she had been vegan.
