    debate bros are so fucking annoying. Ignoring the fact they dont know shit about debate in the first place and misuse all the psych 101 fallacies non stop the worst is that some arbitrary rules made by old af white guys are revered as if they are the words of god and instant gotcha wins in an argument ignoring the actual substance and reasoning for the argument.

      Not to mention what Ben Shapiro et al do is not even formal debate, it is rhetorical traps and semantic games.

          Yeah usually for audiences primed to cheer them on or audiences amused by tone signaling conclusiveness. Pure parlor trick shit.

        The only way to win is to abandon your liberal self and dunk on him harder

      Rhetoric had 3 components, debate bros only know about logic. To convince people you still need to appeal to a sense of authority and to emotions, just sticking with logos is dumb.
