On the Internet you're not arguing to convince that person you're arguing with.
You should argue to challenge the statements that person made for other people that will read the thread so those opinions are not out there without any counterarguments

That's basically the game the elites want us to play.

The societal problems are so preposterous and button-click simple to solve for a government as powerful as ours, there's no other logical explanation.

They want our eyes off the ball. That much is clear.

Seems like you lost your tinfoil-hat over there

All I see is yours. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The small sarcasm on the left cracks me up for some reason

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

In an Internet argument, it usually takes like 2-3 replies in to figure out if a person is arguing in good or bad faith.

If they are arguing in bad faith, there is no reason not to block them, they are wasting your time

It can be SO tempting to reply to someone who’s being a jerk, but it’s very rarely worth it. I restrain myself because nobody “wins” an argument online. It’s just two bickering losers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wrestling with pigs and all that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've literally changed my position on important matters due to patient and considerate discussions that occured entirely on the Internet (Facebook of all places, if you can believe it). But yeah, with a jerk acting as a troll, that's not going to happen, no matter how much you might wish for it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I used to be proud of how I never blocked anybody.

Now I don't look back:-).

Live and learn.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Peace is boring. I want people's messy ugly opinions about stupid shit that doesn't matter. It gets me out of bed in the morning

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I do disagree. Lol. I don't want peace. I want problems, always. sarcasm

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No thank you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dont block people. I see how it's useful and help deal with trolls, but it gives people the easy path out of discussion and actually thinking about something.

It gets to a point where you just block anyone who disagrees with you and leads to the bubble life.

For me, i think that all ideas, even the bad ones, should have a voice. They should have a place in the world, hearing both good and bad ideas can help to separate them and identify people who srgue in bad faith.

Although that decision came from spending time fruitlessly arguing with people on the site that shall not be named.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. Block them.

There's an unending supply of morons with insane opinions. You are not going to run out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that doesn't bother me. But that's my opinion. If you dont like it, i guess you can block me? 😜

The guy is/was banging his granddaughter, he may know something about not giving a fuck.

I can't find anything definitive. The guy that murdered his grand daughter claims that she told him: https://people.com/crime/morgan-freeman-sex-with-granddaughter-murder-suspect-claims/

That's a yikes statement, in and of itself. I see allegations and vehement denials. I think that's the last thing I'm gonna google for tonight. Godspeed stranger!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A murderer throws out "nuh uh I was too high to be guilty of this murder I obviously committed and anyways the victim's famous grandparent abused them" doesn't exactly scream credible.

Whats Samuel L Jackson got to do with this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not a damn thing, motherfucker.

But that's ok, cause that's James Earl Jones, not Sam Jackson.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Do like the guy in the photo and fall asleep in the middle of conversations. Nobody will argue with you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t tell if they deliberately put a comma there in order to change the meaning of the phrase.
