    This person you’re discussing with is not having a discussion at all. They are literally making asinine insinuations about what you said and not engaging with the exact words that you wrote. They don’t ask genuine follow up questions to determine your intent. I’d say you should probably just agree to disagree and move on.

    Everything you said about anarcho-whatever the fuck term is spot on and the downvotes really make me question people’s critical thinking ability.

      It’s what authortarins do…

      You can’t reason them out of their views, because reason wasn’t involved in them getting their views in the first place.

      Someone told them to hold a view, so they held it. Anyone questioning their leader is a “them” and what little surface civility it starts with, is really just there to draw in people for an argument. Like, dude went completely off the rails in 2-3 replies, and that would have happened no matter what I said.

      Some people will always be like that, it’s normal human variation.
