This lib refusing to educate themselves is how this whole thing started, I doubt they’ll change their mind now, unless they want to prove me wrong about them.

Yeah, when i wrote that there were still fairly few substantial responses compared to mocking ones. But by now i see they’ve been offered plenty of good, comprehensive sources of information, and now that they’re banned and can’t waste as much time saying ignorant things here maybe they will have more time to read the material that they’ve been so helpfully provided with. Probably not though…they’re probably allergic to reading as most libs are…

I was hoping they’d be sincere and honest and would actually ask “how can you support such regimes?!” honestly and earnestly, but it wasn’t a question, it was smug pretending to be questioning.

I find it hilarious that I dropped multiple sources that countered what they said, but because I didn’t treat it as a “gotcha” but just supplemental to what I was talking about, they didn’t even notice. 100% debatebro brained.

Well, you did what you could. Can’t reach everyone right away. Sometimes people need to have time to stew a bit and process new information. Sometimes it takes repeated exposure to the new ideas before they become more open to them. Which is why we should never stop explaining, even if it’s frustrating.
