Also it’s very funny when someone says something very stupid and is met with a giant picture of a pig shitting on its own balls.

Ehh, most instances would reasonably call that out as trolling. PPB is the opposite of a good faith argument.

PPB is the opposite of a good faith argument.

We’ll give the libs a “good faith argument” when we get one.

That usually does not happen though.

why would we give a good faith argument if we see someone saying something stupid? If I see someone saying something aggressively stupid, or they’re being transphobic, racist, or whatever, why would I engage them as a serious person? At that point I just want to have a laugh because I don’t respect them and have no faith they’ll ever change unless subject to public embarrassment.

if someone approaches in good faith I’ll talk with them but at a certain point you gotta realize some people enjoy being clueless and they deserve mockery until such point they decide they’d rather be more well-informed

90% of the time when I attempt good faith argument with liberals, they almost immediately begin deflecting and pretending to be incompetent.

I still attempt it, but it’s easy to see why it’s probably better to just make fun of those people. Obviously honesty, knowledge, and good faith engagement means nothing to them.
