I don’t wanna. Debates are pointless and they’re not smart enough to process anything I say, so I just say “yeah that sucks” and try and change topics.

    That's not being clever. Don't let them do it. Force them back to the core point. Make them answer your actual question, don't let them get away with obfuscation cause it's a bullshit tactic.

      It’s clever cuz if you stick to it long enough people give up and you feel like the winner. It’s why fash have such an easy time unlike us lefties, they can hack the human mind by just being pigheaded ass fucks. Brilliant, wish there was a left version of it.

        This is why you bully. If you have a vocabulary greater than a sixth grader and a functional understanding of 20th century history you can dunk on them and half the time they don't even understand you're making fun of them lol

          Yeah, have you been in school and seen a chud get owned by the teacher ever? Cause it turns out the teacher knew more about what they were teaching than the student who decided to argue? Be that teacher.

            My favourite lib dunk is from Lenin and it's just as true today: "Mr. Tugan repeats the old trick of the reactionaries: first to misinterpret socialism by making it out to be an absurdity, and then to triumphantly refute the absurdity!"

            Basically just calling them dumb lmao

              I do get OP's frustrations, I've been there. It takes time and effort but once your there it fucking rules. A lib can say pretty much anything and I can say "that's wrong and here are 15 reasons why"

                A lib won’t believe the 15 reasons, will ask for sources from “trusted news organizations”, and say you sound like Trump.

                If provided mainstream sources, they will not read it and instead provide you with editorials from CIA and Natsec ghouls.
