“Piece of work “ now is it ?
Your friend was talking about “my sort “

The clue to your fake position of being reasonable is the use of dehumanising language. It reminds me so much of nazi speeches, trying to sound rational but unable to use derogatory terms for their intended victims.

It also reminds me of the civil rights movement in the USA when racists would quote “uncle Tom” black men who were prepared to defend segregation.

As I said, we’ve heard it before and it’s interesting that we hear it now from the group here who try to gang up on people they disagree with. Some have a latent mob mentality and that can be extremely ugly
