Yeah because Ben Shabino is the only one who does this right? Let’s be honest here, all positions on the political spectrum engage in this nonsense. Not many come into “debates” or even conversations with open minds anymore. The right thinks everyone on the left are safe space wanting marshmallow communist hippies. The left is insanely toxic to literally anyone that verges from their exact viewpoints, including their own. Calling anyone who disagrees with them all shades of the discrimination rainbow. Oh no no, it’s not that you disagree with me, it’s that you’re actually Hitler... CLASSIC! Speaking of which, lefties also really love semantics. They worry so much about precisely defining the difference between a “liberal”, “leftist”, “democrat”, “tankies”, and all the same on the other side of the isle, like anyone really gives a shit. I’ll never understand the line of reasoning of not caring if you push people on your side away. Or rather, actively doing it so you can, idk.... “win” an argument?
Even the very thing I’ve said here will undoubtedly have people ‘like’ chasing and saying stuff like “yeah, how dare we try to win an argument, the nerve!”. Or the inevitable “they have the luxury of having an open mind, I’m not that privileged”. Save the BS sob story where anyone who can have an open mind is “privileged”, just as much so as the ones who choose not to discuss politics publicly. Which brings me to my next point... always missing the actual point.
Believe it or not, you can have discussions with other people, political discussions even, where neither participant has to “win” or “dunk” on the other.
So, I really don’t get how some of you are surprised that the people y’all have been trying to not have a discussion with, have left to find better things to do. Of course it’s because you left it off with a 360 noscope dunk right?! It couldn’t possibly be people getting tired of arguing in circles that go nowhere with someone arguing in bad faith where there’s literally not going to be any minds changing... right?
Sorry, the air needed venting out a bit in here. Was getting hella ECHOS if you know what I’m saying. Anyway, have a nice weekend fellas.
