I had to edit Dietrich Bonhoeffers quote after hearing Nolan.
Against KARENS we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the KAREN can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the KAREN, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the KAREN with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
~ paraphrased from Dietrich Bonhoeffer
