MODERATORS
I enter civil discourse with opposing views all day erryday, but that's a nice point. We need values but I think the order of operations should be to engage civily, agree to disagree, then finally block so they don't feel empowered by their position.
I disagree, I think there's a lot of people who think they need to bring some kind of argument and logic that will blow them out of the water. Meanwhile they're having fun because their strategy is to exhaust you until you block them. But people never learned how fun it is to exhaust them back. If we're all so smart, everyone keeps saying they're idiots, then beat them at their own game. But if you block, you lose. Get them to push themselves back into their corners by having them hit the block button.
In theory I'd love that, I give into the trolling but try to keep it to a minimum.
Children are watching and when everyone is slinging shit, they just see shit covered adults and that's almost worse than losing a voter. Losing the next gen
I think the risk is that kids love it too though and what happens is they see one side getting beat up and the other side being funny and having a great time. That's what lost a generation in my mind. In my world, lots of young men just no longer even admit to being left leaning publicly. It's an embarrassment. And here is why it's important. If they do say they are, then there is 10 people around then slinging shit at them because those people saw all the people online giving them ammunition. But because the left are risk adverse, there isn't the same ammunition. There isn't the same resources to let them know to fuck off. Representation is important. Saying we can just ignore things and not engage could end up hurting over the long term.
