There comes a time in one's life where debating is no longer useful. This comes with age.

You have never, and will never change anyone's opinion, that has to be done on one's own, and it's rare.

Debating is useless. I have no room for it in my life, especially with an establishment leftist, I'd rather stick a rusty butter knife in my jugular vein. It's about the most mind numbing thing one can do. Right and wrong is subjective, like it or not. Debating is a useless tool.

So if that makes me a circle jerker, or wanting an echo chamber, fuck it. I'm here to be mean to establishment leftists. Establishment anyone really. Don't like it? Cry harder, or fuck off, either way you ain't changing shit.

i have not debated much, but sure, there are those whose mind will never be changed. but if speaking to someone, make them question their views. maybe that could help them change their mind on their own. i think most people realize certain truths at different degrees of realization or maybe don't realize at first, but later on experiences changes their view to realize truth and not propaganda.

i'm over 50 and until ~10 years ago, i didn't really have a viewpoint worth speaking of. didn't care. growing up with no guidance can do that to you. now i'm still learning. better late than never.

Fair enough. Even though you are the anomaly, not the general norm, it makes sense.

I've been balls deep in this shit since I was in my teens, now 43, the rest of my life will be peaceful and drama free, talking to a CNN watching useful idiot about anything doesn't do anything good for the blood pressure. In my world, there is literally no need for it.

Anyone who advocates against their own liberty is useless to the greater good. Throw in the fact OP and his many alts are literally being paid to obfuscate here, what's the point?
