    Problem is, if you ask for sources you get called a red fash chinazi scum. Can't educate people who aren't willing to learn

        Of course. I shouldn't have to educate anarchists and other anticommunist leftists though, for fucks sake

                  At that point, a judgement call needs to be made about whether there would be enough people browsing the thread that could be convinced by a patient and thorough rebuttal. On reddit especially, I find it's not worth the effort more often than not.

                    If there's a lot of engagement in your thread (like 10+ votes) that means there were probably at least 100 people who scrolled by and read that fight.

                    Staying calm and talking to those hundred people while avoiding the outbursts of the idiot you're arguing with can be effective. It's not anything to lose sleep over, but if even 1 of those hundered people start to question their media sources, it was worthwhile.

                    No I'm legitimately wondering what I can do to get people to stop deepthroating state propaganda, but this is the sort of resistance I meet when I try and I legitimately do not understand how I can meet eye to eye with the braindead reddit fucks that unironically sling those insults around

                    edit: also I really gotta point out the hypocrisy in you giving up after two bad faith arguments from me but expect me to "work harder" when I end up having to wade through like 15+ bad faith posts only to end up being blocked because they don't like it when people disagree with them
