I have heard the way to do it, is to take their crazy and take it WAY past their line until they back off themselves.
Moron: “There are only two genders!” Normal: “Right?!” Moron: “Ma-” Normal: “Trans and supergay”.
No comment on the contents of my example. It’s the only comic strip I remember at the moment.
Yeah, people who still consume animal products.
Oh, also people who just blame capitalism for everything, especially when it comes to any kind of change in their lifestyle or even the slightest inconvenience to their daily routines.
Meat is murder, but veganism is genocide.
Fight me w your pale pasta fueled arms. I dare you.
How is veganism genocide? Not agreeing with the approach of the person you replied to but that’s an odd statement to me.
Baiting a baiter isn’t gonna catch you anything with me.
i feel like this is talking about me.
however it’s not bullshit, it’s often just another point of view, and people should get more exposed to that. it’s not as if i’m being mean or obtuse either. people downvote me because it doesn’t (yet) fit their world model
“Yet” in that context is hilariously egoistic and arrogant.
Well, there is a 50/50 chance it can be correct at some point.
Sure. Charlie Kirk was a fantastic example.
He’s alive debating gun laws on here, that video was AI.
Yeah, everytime Kenny the fascist comes to tell me the woah’s of the world from his perspective. They get one conversation when I establish their position. The second convo is to establish my own. The third and subsequent conversations are purposefully hostile.
You have to maintain hygiene when dealing with these creatures.
Some people are just made for blocking.
The general public on games development. Sometimes even game developers on games development outside their usual sphere/scale. None of us are immune to Dunning-Kruger.
OP has a 5 day old account, just saying.
This is my return. I was Chippys_Mittens before. Had an issue with the email associated.
I certainly get accused of being that person often enough, but I’m right >95% of the time because I don’t really argue unless I know what I’m talking about.
MAGATS
My dad… Ugh
I wish more people simply… Learned how to shut up.
It would also be great if people learn that being offended is a part of life and turning into a fucking Karen is not acceptable.
I think you should at bare minimum voice some opposition. It helps you reinforce why you believe the things you do and it shows the readers that this idea is present. We are where we are today because the smart people refused to engage and failed to get their side of the argument into public discourse.
If I open a comment section and its full of tankie opinions I have to comment because I dont want the majority of people who lurk to think lemmy is only tankies.
Yeah. They think it’s me, I think it’s them
I stumbled into a thread the other week of someone who tried to argue that basically, there exist non-invasive non-native species, as well as native invasive species.
Eh, no buddy. The Venn diagram is a single circle. Everything inside is native and therefore not invasive, and everything outside is invasive and therefore not native. Invasive === NOT native.
Yes, religious pshychopath lady I know that thinks earth is 3000 years old and that democrats want to turn the US into Russia.
Yes yes, they love Trump as well, only watch fix and oann, etc.
Help. These people vote.
religious pshychopath lady I know that thinks earth is 3000 years old
Heresy! Everyone knows the earth (and the universe) was created in 40004 bc
People with positions of leadership in businesses and political organisations routinely tend to be like that.
The fact that I’m a 2/10 isn’t even the reason I’m so full of shit though.
Yes, it’s me
Because I don’t come to these spaces to discuss other people’s feelings about things, I come to them to see whats in the zeitgiest
So 0.2 people? Who are those decimals?
My pet peeve are the smug intellectuals.
2? more like 6
If actual conservatives existed here I’d agree.
Conservatives do exist here, there are plenty of people that actually believe Harris would have been a good president or that the US is capable of good actions.
I’ve even see people unironically support USAID and the NED. That kind of far-right bullshit is why some of us left reddit.
Conservative ideology is about defining underclasses that have fewer or no rights. Sadly, that type of hierarchical thinking is present everywhere and probably in everyone to some degree or another.
So we’re not immune.
Lemme has many…
A person who is looking to understand and be understood doesn’t come across that way.
It’s not dumb, and it’s not overwhelm. It’s an attack, a set up for something violent, or at best someone who doesn’t realize they’re aiding such a thing, as they’re in the middle of actively doing it.
That’s when I just link them to a mental health services site and move on.
It’s a large number of family members. It sucks, because I grew up looking up to these people, only to lose respect because they believe whatever they see on Facebook.

That’s like 5 out of 10 on reddit… so yeah.
Thing is out here, there is less polarization and if you’ve got the links and the facts that are verifiable, people can and do go “Ah! I did not know that… thanks!” and mean it.
Which I love.
