People like justice being served to those who deserve it. That's why we find it so satisfying to watch Batman beat up bad guys and Judge Judy wield her mallet on TV. On the internet, we love the ultimate form of justice: seeing jerks being put in their place in the comments on social media.
There's an online community dedicated to exposing hypocrites, called "This You?" It's a place where people come for politicians, other famous people, and just entitled jerks with scorching receipts. It seems like people sometimes need to be reminded of the things they've said and done, and r/ThisYouComebacks is the place where folks will gladly do that.

She Was Self Righteous, Insane, And Completely Out Of Control
RELATED:
We start exchanging witty comebacks as early as kindergarten. Who hasn't heard or thrown out a "Whoever smelt it dealt it" or a "I know you are but what am I?" on the playground themselves? Knowing how to clap back is a necessary social skill sometimes that people can get better at with time and practice.
Child adolescent and adult psychiatrist Suzanne Bender, M.D. writes that we need to teach our children how to stand up to bullies. But, with comebacks, we should never teach them to make their clapbacks personal. "Comment on the comment, not the person," Bender emphasizes.

This You?
Being able to clap back at someone requires mental and verbal agility. And unless a person has stand-up comedian levels of timing and wit, it's better to practice by role-playing. That way, we can prepare a comeback in advance and learn to hold direct eye contact and an assertive tone of voice for face-to-face interactions.
Bender also claims that, for children, it's sometimes effective to at least think about the comeback. "The power of fighting back, even in one's own head, provides a sense of agency," she writes. Perhaps that can apply to adults too: clapping back at rude strangers might not be necessary, after all, if we just think about what we would say to them.

First it was “Trump’s not actually implementing tariffs and you’re all stupid for thinking that!” Then it was “the other country pays the tariffs, companies don’t pay tariffs and you’re all stupid for thinking that!” Then it was “Project 2025 isn’t real and you’re all stupid for thinking that!“ then it was “Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025 and you’re all stupid for thinking that!“ etc etc etc 😂 I wonder when they’re going to notice a pattern - we warn them, they mock us, and then the thing we warned about actually happens 😂 same as it ever was

This You Dad?

The kid is gonna make it big. Then his sperms donor is gonna come out of the woodwork pretending to want a relationship to get money or fame by proxy. Then the kid is gonna be like "I don't know you. Guards!"
Unfortunately, we can rarely come up with a good comeback in the moment. How many times have you lay wide awake at night when just the perfect witty comeback comes to you?
Abigail Paul, who teaches theater improv techniques, told the BBC that the secret to a good comeback is listening to what the other person is saying. People think faster than others speak, so, according to her, we have extra time to think of a witty clapback even before someone finishes their sentence.

The Time I Reminded A Racist That Their Tweets Are Public
Forrest Hobbs 7 months ago
Hang on - "patriot"? "Confederate flag"? The Confederates were traitors as defined by the US constitution - you can't call yourself a US patriot if you're still supporting traitors.
"Most of us don't listen to the whole message, we are just waiting to make our own points. There is no magic bullet to getting better at listening besides practice," Abigail Paul explained to the BBC. She suggests a game of one-word volleyball as practice: you build a story with each person contributing only one word at a time. It prompts us to listen and be quick on our feet with a response.

We’ve got “freedom” in the U.S……freedom to shoot up an elementary school, a grocery store, a place of worship….
Most of the witty responses in this thread are directed at hypocritical people, who once called out someone for doing the exact same thing they're doing now. Hypocrisy is an interesting thing; sometimes we ourselves might not realize that we're doing it. Psychologists explain that hypocrisy comes from our flawed human nature. We sometimes don't make the best judgment and can be motivated by our emotions rather than logic.

“We can be as nasty as we want to you but you can’t do it back to us or we’ll start whining and crying” is the message MAGA sends
The experts at Straight Talk Counseling note that hypocritical people are often characterized by an inflated ego and have a sense of self-righteousness. The inability to be humble also plagues those who have hypocritical tendencies. But the reason we sometimes act hypocritical is usually out of fear and low self-esteem.

Big Bird Is A Communist
Hypocritical people often have a misguided notion that their beliefs and opinions are better than everyone else's. It's easier to be hypocritical than to face uncomfortable emotions such as humility, concerns about our abilities, lack of self-confidence, and fear of being judged. Essentially, we project and deflect so we don't have to face the music.

"Dont Talk About Feelings"
#24
Maybe The Worst Of These Yet
But that doesn't mean we can't overcome our own hypocrisy. The experts at Straight Talk Counseling write that it all begins with grounding yourself in objective morals. There are some things that people universally agree are bad: stealing, taking another person's life, or hurting others emotionally.

"Kyle Rittenhouse Is A Patriot"
When we're acting hypocritical, we also must humble ourselves. A hypocrite doesn't admit they make mistakes and thinks they can do no wrong. A person who admits they're a flawed human being and can laugh at their shortcomings is less prone to being hypocritical. Just put yourself into the shoes of another and try to understand where they are coming from; that might decrease your self-inflated ego and sense of self-righteousness.

Who Cheers Hoping American Companies Fail?
Offbeat Quinoa 7 months ago (edited)
I’m not from the US but I love Americans in general. A lot of my favourite products are American. It’s a beautiful country. I’m only cheering for MAGA to go down (not republicans, not the right in general - just MAGA). I’m okay with causing collateral damage to anyone who gave up everything to support a racist f*****t regime. Remember the Nazis? No one was whining that their opposers “weren’t being very nice or kind to them.” Gee, I wonder why.

If it has to do with the benefit of others or shows empathy that bunch will scream leftist, socialism, and communism without any thought. They are in this to enrich themselves and friends. Constituents matter not. Lies are better than saying they voted against something that could help people. They don't care about their oath. On another note, how moronic does one have to be vote against FEMA when hurricanes in Floroda are becoming more prevalent? Make it make sense.

People rarely practice what the preach because they're hypothetical. They're also contradicting. People of power wear masks. They show one thing but actually are another. I learned this at an early age from going to church and realized politicians are the same... and most people all over. These are also the people who will deny it even if you show them a video of them doing it. Magically able to blame shift, gas light it all away and make themselves the victim. 😆
