I disagree because if you leave dipshit views unchallenged they spread more readily than if they're met with a compelling rebuttal. Arguing online isn't about changing the mind of a hostile stranger, it's about influencing the dozens of randos witnessing the interaction. I spent a lot of time on /r/conspiracy arguing about socialism and it was never to convince the other guy and over that time I had dozens of PMs thanking me for exposing them to different views and if each of them goes on to educate in kind well that's literally the parable of the sower
Agree with this. Don't drain your energy by engaging in a month-long exchange with some chud in the comments section of a Naruto AMV from 2009.
But when meemaw posts some transphobic meme, make sure the whole family sees you calling her out.
Yeah I mean consider the visibility of the argument. If it's just you and some dipshit slapfighting in a place nobody will see, cut it out. But if it's some front page reddit thread with high engagement? Other people will see what you say and might be influenced.
