  • I have no goal here. Just sharing my opinions. Not failing to do anything.

    Yeah being aggressive is good for driving people away. And yknow given that your goal is actually to drive people away I was wrong to say it’s immature.

    I just don’t like aggression. I don’t go on the internet looking for fights.

    It’s just polarizing. You’re just making people more staunch in their beliefs or just annoying people who would rather not deal with aggression (like myself)

    If your goal is to drive people away and make a space where everyone just agrees with you all the time then it’s effective.




  • Yknow I’m talking about on social media platforms, right?

    Frothing at the mouth raging at someone on a social media platform doesn’t do anything but cause more radicalization, so I just ignore people instead. I don’t spend most of my life fighting with people on the internet over politics.

    I usually just ignore them.

    I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.

    If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.

    Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.

    I mean that’s what I think, at least
