talking politics online be like

POP­U­LAR ALT-RIGHT PERSONALITY:
“That stove burn­er is not hot, it’s not even a stove. It’s a bas­ket of kit­tens. Go ahead and touch it.”

ME:
“It’s clear­ly a stove and it’s on and there is fire com­ing out, please don’t touch it.”

‘DE­PLORABLE’ WHITE KNIGHT:
[com­ing to rescue]
“Hey GE­NIUS, he didn’t say stoves don’t get hot, just that you can pet the kit­tens and also it’s your fault im­mi­grants are tak­ing all our jobs!”

 

*20 peo­ple im­me­di­ate­ly like this*

 

ME:
“That’s not how words work, but al­right. I’m just go­ing to ac­cept it.”

 

You don’t change anyone’s mind by win­ning one argument.

It’s some­thing that wash­es over them slow­ly over many con­ver­sa­tions, and they’re nev­er go­ing to tell you … But
peo­ple be­ing will­ing to shout into the void
is large­ly to cred­it for my cur­rent worldview.

So I guess that’s why I do it.

I like to com­ment in echo cham­bers for opin­ions the op­po­site of my own.
