Pros: it will be exciting and engaging to see someone with a federated name and the notice their opinion being dogshit

Cons: mathematically proven to not have cons

    What many people take offense to, is the fact that a lot of "good faith" arguments are still repugnant, and frankly not always distinguishable (hope thats a word) from bad faith arguments.

    To give you an example that I've seen quite a lot: Like the current situtation with the Middle East, where you see liberals of all kinds either straight up supporting Israel's genocide, or clamoring for a millitary intervention against the Ansarallah movement governing Yemen. If you (general you, not you specifically) don't know what that movement is about, or just how popular it is, or what they have been going through for the past decade, I don't give a flying fuck what kind of argument you make, you are not going to understand why their actions are in fact rational (and also legal, but that's a separate issue). Same with the Ukraine war, same with the October 7th attacks, same with a potential war against Iran. If you (again, every you is general, not as a reply to you) genuinely believe that people outside of the United States can afford to act against the United States based solely on the reason that they're evil, or hate the west or some other moron-grade explanation, you are going to be dunked on, because your opinion is at best worthless and can at best become a learning opportunity, but more likely will just result in the lib in question taking their ball home and blocking us.
