Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?
Why can’t people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?
Because I’ve been having the same “debates” and “discussions” with these inauthentic fucks for over 20 years. Same dumbfuck talking points, same dumbfuck lies, same dumbfuck “gotchas!”, same dumbfuck hypotheticals, same dumbfuck "I never said that"s, same dumbfuck everything.
Like, for example, compare the whole “kids shouldn’t get gender surgery!” to “women shouldn’t get partial birth abortions!”. It’s exactly the same thing: taking a procedure that is done incredibly rarely, to the point of being effectively nonexistent (needing to show up to a cumbersome number of significant digits in order to round to a number bigger than 0), and only under extreme conditions after deep consultation with multiple medical professionals, and pretending like it’s the most common form of the procedure, which is gotten on a passing whim and handed out by doctors like candy in the waiting room.
I’ve had all these “discussions” before. I’ve heard, and debunked, all this dumbfuckery before. It just keeps coming back. The same people will walk away from me, after sucking up all the time and energy I expended to provide sources and statistics, then turn around say the same dumbfuck things to the next guy in line as if our conversation never happened.
It’s a scam, and I reserve the right not to participate. Especially online.
