Depends, is this someone you know in real life or at least have some contact with? I totally get trying to engage with people you like or vibe with. Obviously, it’s your time, but I’m not sure it’s worth it to try to convert complete online strangers.
No, I just couldn't walk away and kept arguing with an internet stranger. So what I originally planned to be just mocking and pointing out an obvious contradiction kept expanding out.
I’m not opposed to you being on a one-person crusade to change the world for the better, but this seems like one of those cases where you need to be able to choose your battles. If this whole thing brought you some degree of joy, it’s not too bad, I guess?
I’m actually expanding on this. I have a social media account that I just use to post about hobbies and interests—nothing else. Even though it's pretty low stakes, I need to remind myself not to waste time on arguments or squabbles. I’d rather spend my time doing something fun than arguing with strangers on the internet.
Sometimes I have a topic I feel strongly enough about to argue, but let’s be real—most of the time, your time is better spent than engaging with "LonedadsforTRUMP2024" in a serious manner.
Either way have a nice weekend
No, I do actually feel that it was a waste of time. I did just keep arguing for the sake of arguing. I just claimed a victory because I got the guy to more or less acknowledge that I am right and he couldn't defend his beliefs. Not rationally worth 6 hours of effort.
Aww, okay, I get that. Well, maybe you can just throw out a zippy one-liner next time and leave it at that? Though I totally get the urge to get in the last word when someone posts something I vehemently disagree with.
