But you did reply to a "debate", you know that right?

Do you think the aggression in your replies here makes people more inclined to respond in kind?

Nobody here owes you more than they feel like giving. You cannot expect people to match your energy just because.

And I dont owe any of you a good attitude. We live in a time where the majority of people get all their opinions from headlines, and its the reason the world is seemingly as fucked as it is. All the muppets lamenting the popularity of Kirk and Trump and Musk and however else, while at the same time doing the very same thing.

My aggression, if you can even call it that, is at the utter state of discourse in social media, and the negative affect is it having on people ability to think for themselves. God forbid anyone puts in some effort, instead of just posting feelings...

You do have to be polite if you want to get the quality of replies you are expecting rather than what you get.

Good day.

And you're on the Internet. There's at least a dozen of us on here. You know that, right?

And youre still aware that you know how to read, right? If theres a debate, and you want to be part of it, thats fine. But be part of it, dont just drop the same easily clickable comments that everyone else does, and then start moaning when you get called on it.

Why the fuck are you all so terrified of being wrong???
