    Nobody actually fucking changes minds with "internet debates", especially with bozos like this who have a Ben Shapiro complex that makes their sole goal to DESTROY you with FACTS and LOGIC, no matter how wrong they are in the process.

    Either he's stupid and doesn't know this, or he knows this to be the truth and is just doing a half-assed attempt to convince you to entertain his shitty ideas.

    Block that motherfucker for your own sanity.

      There's a certain kind of person that can be reached, but it has to be a leftist type that fell for liberal bullshit temporarily. I feel like I've been solidly left since I became politically literate, but I fully admit I got sucked up in the Obama years at least for a bit. It didn't take long to realize I was being silly with "harm reduction" and through enough people being flippant with me online back then, I snapped out of it

    you’re literally screaming “DEBATE ME! DEBATE ME!” and i am not a debate pervert. If all the existing evidence and history wasnt enough to convince you, than you came to your decision through other means, therefore to bring truth back into this conversation is a waste of time, goodbye.

    And then all of reddit will stand up and clap.

    As long as they don't develop a way to punch people over the internet, yes, you should.

    Agree to debate him but say it needs to be an informed debate, so you read a book of his choice and he reads a book of your choice, then agree to meet and debate when you’re both finished. DM him in a week saying “done, ready when you are” and when he says he’s done reading the book you recommended (which should be topical and long) message him saying “lmao you fucking loser nerd I didn’t read your shit Zionist propaganda” THEN block

      Slight flaw in your plan: any book you suggest to the lib won't be Harry Potter or Star Wars

    If the question is ever "Do I disengage with this internet argument", the correct answer, without fail, is "Yes". Only do it if you're genuinely enjoying it or are at least having an actually constructive discussion with someone.

    big-cool I watched Back To the Future, and I know I'm Biff in this scenario, so I know that all I have to do to get you to keep arguing with me is call you a coward.
