what you call an argument, i call an exercise in self-expression.

this is why it is my ART. I am the ARTIST, and you are my MEDIUM.

LET ME PAINT YOUR WORDS LIKE ONE OF MY LOLI BOYS.

If you're strong enough

I wonder if this is the human hive mind just reacting to itself?

I think we're in this proto-unified consciousness where we're adapting before eventually we get bored of arguing and all land on the same page.

Humans are gonna human. Think about it, every country started out as little groups of people, then villages, towns, cities, counties, states, countries, treaties and then continents. Within that, every single stage had a period where they'd fight amongst themselves.

I guess where just in the place now, but on a globally conscious level.

We're about to achieve world peace, I think after the next war, once we realise we're all the same, and technology continues to mitigate language barriers, it's done.

If I win it’s worth it

Honestly, I might start cutting back on commenting. Lemmy feels like half of it is just ragebait.

I understand that this is a new platform and it wants engagement but I can't be bothered.

Feels great. Hope those other people figure thier shit out someday.

My favorite place to go to argue with people is the minutephysics' portal paradox videos. People are extremely firm in their conclusions (me included). That makes it an interesting place for practicing on making fair, understandable arguments against people who are firmly locked on the opposite side.

It's a relief to have those heated arguments without having it about something that directly involves people's lives.

Honestly arguing? No

Discussing is great and fun. If you bump into people who are honestly arguing then trolling becomes enjoyable.

Worth what? It’s basically free.

I can say with certainty; y'all have it coming!

I kind of hate it. I'm interested in other people's opinions and like to learn new perspectives, but some people, especially here, tend to aggressively misinterpret comments and go hard with angry emotional responses. It happened to me recently, and I just responded and blocked the guy outright. You can usually tell from the outset when someone is immediately insulting. I used to push back, but block them before they can get their claws into me.

That's why I have notifications off. Once you get to a certain age, people not agreeing with you is their problem.

I think debating for fun has killed our ability to communicate as a species. Pushback becomes an ignorable stress since it comes with no real consequence. And it makes every conversation an chance to argue your point as if it must be a part of your identity to be protected at all cost.

I really dislike angry conversation without purpose.

Got me banned from reddit and now I'm here so I'd say in a weird ironic sense, sorta?
