I’m really surprised that you put forth so much effort for this idiotchan. No matter how many times you school them, they just keep spouting dumb shit. I admire your patience.
Even if they’re just trolling, there’s people out there who genuinely believe these things, so it’s worthwhile to put the effort in to have the public debate.
Plus arguing with people on Lemmy is a good way to keep my rhetoric skills in practice
Thanks. I try to do the same, but your responses here are next level and dismantle their argument without the slightest hint of contempt. I have a hard time withholding my contempt, so your replies are inspiring. Keep fighting the good fight.
At least in today’s post, we’ve been making progress, even though the person said " why does any of it matter"… That’s progress, that’s admission that their initial premise was incorrect. But in the link above, we just got stuck in a loop where we couldn’t make any agreements about anything. It was pretty frustrating
not trolling, trying to engage in a discussion. I could easily say “no, you’re wrong” & then move onto the next thing, whatever it may be. I could be insulting, as many here default to, but I’m better than that - and so are you. or maybe not! difficult to tell really. eh, I’m probably wrong about you.

Thanks! I will keep it up, or I’ll try to.
I’m no saint, I’m only human. I’ve had to give up a couple conversations, especially when we get stuck just in a loop. No progress being made.

I agree - jet’s been a fun opponent to spar with. I wish everyone held themselves to his standard (her’s? their’s? pronouns are weird).
notice me senpai!
