Sometimes I like to cruise the politics sub so I can drive by downvote libs and report them for breaking their precious civility rule, and honestly, I’ve gotten a decent amount of them banned for it, which is hilarious.

That is all

    Everyone loves to pretend they’re open to debate. Nobody wants to admit to being closed minded. You need to be receptive with a well-rehersed rebuttal.

    But this invites sea lioning, which everyone agrees is obnoxious. So the argument eventually becomes “I’m up for informed debate, but you’re not engaging seriously.”

    That’s where all this stuff ends, and it illustrates the limits of any discourse.

      That opinion’s validated in the federated instances when discussing politics by prima facie invalidating opinions from hexbear users as “trolls” or “tankies”.
