Comment on Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 months agoWell then, I guess I break this off unilaterally at some point. Debate doesn’t work, you can’t browbeat someone into believing something. Most people just know that, I had to learn the hard way. Maybe you will eventually too.
I personally am neither rich nor fancy. I live in the country; I’ve never lived anywhere else as an adult. Believe me, specific races are a real thing here. It’s not some thing made up by a spooky cabal of academics. It’s strange you could even think that, with all the evidence from recent history to the contrary, including laws referencing the separate races. You could argue I’m not worldly enough, but my family is rather international, which should count for something.

Debate is for the audience, not for your opponent.

I don’t think the audience cares either, past a point. The shit that gets a response is factual, and getting facts out is, along with basic respect for you, the reason I’m here.

Upvote/downvote totals matter. Seeing a ton of push back in the comments matters.

Well, you pushed, and I pushed. We’re deep in enough most people have stopped reading anyway. Goodbye, nice chatting with you.
