    I do feel the need to clarify a little bit

    What I was doing wasn’t arguing, although it may have looked like that. I was correcting. His comment, although it’s now deleted, was quite convincing to the untrained eye. He used several tools from the fascist’s playbook (Innuendo Studios calls it alt-right but I think fascist is more accurate), unknowingly or not, which made it very easy to sway susceptible minds with less knowledge on the topic. Correcting these people when they pop up is important, even though it’s ridiculously tedious and you will never sway the mind of the person who wrote the comment. Because that correction will stay there for the people who are still uneducated on why they’re so wrong.
