    Debatebro? How about someone that just likes discussing complex topics instead of endless pointless circlejerking?

      As others have also noted in this comment section, you come across as someone who doesn't actually know what they're talking about, but floats these trivial truisms, while pretending that everyone else is disagreeing with these common sense truths.

      It's just the most surface-level observations, while strawmanning everyone else as too extreme, and then acting like an "enlightened" smartarse.

            What do you expect? I said I'm maybe interested in discussing complex topics. You replied with how I "come across" to you. That is a feeling. It is not an objective, rational or measurable thing. It is unique to you and people that are similar to you, experiencing a similar situation.

            Cool bro. That's how you feel. I'm not too interested in feelings though, otherwise I wouldn't have come out with a first reply disagreeing with some dude.

              Yeah bud, just the hugest brain on you. Us peasants with "feelings" can't comprehend you when you quite obviously misunderstand basic English sentences.

                If you got something other than a feeling in response to this, I'm all ears:

                He said things don't change. Progressives try to change things. If progressives want to change things and he's saying things don't change, he's saying progressives must always fail.

                True or false?

                  He said things don’t change.

                  They literally did not.

                  In this situation, they don't expect a change.

                  As I, and everyone else, have been saying: You are tilting at windmills.

                    Right, I got that wrong last time too. Allow me to revise.

                    They said "things will not change". If progressives want things to change, but things will not change, then they are saying the progressives must fail.

                    True or false?

                    edit: If anyone actually got this far, I think this thread was raided by conservatives pretending to be liberals. That actually happens a fair bit, though not usually in places this small. They're just bored people hanging out on the internet somewhere, and someone makes a post going "hey guys, let's all go fuck with link". Used to happen all the time at 4chan, probably still does. And there's discords and shit that can coordinate crap like this when they're in the mood.

                    Could also be properly organized shills, but I'd think they'd have better places to be.
