As a Gen X person, this is kind of my response to any sort of right-wing nonsense now. Especially that thing where you say something that's obviously true and they ask what your source is for that so they can nit-pick it and exhaust you with irrelevant bickering until you give up.
"Society seems to be degenerating into fascism again"
"oH yEaH wHaT iS uR sOuRcE"
"Outside."
Or I'll just be like "no" if I even bother responding at all. You're probably just arguing with a bot to drive up engagement that benefits some rich dickhead somehow anyway. 100% not worth it IMO.
Yeah, it's pretty easy to pick out someone who's genuinely asking in good faith (extremely rare) and someone who just wants to own the wokies. As you say, 99% of the time engaging is a complete waste of time.
it's arguing in bad faith. as in you aren't actually arguing or debating, they are just seeing to beat you down for not agreeing with them.
lemmy full of these types, despite their claims of being educated and data-driven or whatever. i had someone the other week tell me my citation of data form the USA Labor Bureau about jobs numbers was 'lies' because apparently statistics don't count if Trump is in office... pointed out the data was from Biden to now and they just told me I was an idiot then cited some other source that was totally partisan nonsense.
Where are you finding conservatives like that?
Honestly question, lemmy feels like its 30% leftists, 70% center-right libs.
i am saying human beings are like that.
political belief has nothing to do with it.
people just call you whatever 'other' they think is bad. here on lemmy i get called a commie, MAGAt, or centrist anytime i point out facts that disagree with whatever bullshit narrative people are pushing.
