i sometimes get depressed because arguing is not about winning or making yourself look smarter, but i always get the “war zone” approach when I’m arguing with other people. I’m just trying to reason, and people tend to be hostile to me like I’m an enemy on a battlefield, just simply because i actually think about things. Then all this name calling is just ridiculous. It’s fallacious, and yet it’s being nationally justified. I do enjoy arguments occasionally but i don’t like it when I just get insulted. Because seriously, I grew up in an insult-rich place; if arguments were all about who could give the baddest insult or the most hurtful comments, I could win most of the time without much effort, but i don’t play toddler games with adults.
But then, it’s good to learn things and it’s good to know what the other side thinks so you can communicate with them. So it’s half good and half bad lol
