    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.

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

    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.

      Nope. Block them.

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

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