    Look at the comment ratio on this person’s profile.

    I know that can be a cheap shot at times, but when you’re talking about someone with roughly 3500 comments and 2200 “karma” you get the general sense this is more about mentally masterbating through having intentionally antagonist viewpoints while simultaneously grandstanding like they posses the insurmountable moral high ground.

    You are never going to reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into, no matter how good your intentions might be. Especially when the other person is a bad faith actor that gets off to LARPing as an “Ohio Liberal” while at the same time going out of their way to post HUNDREDS of comments justifying war crimes & atrocities against a marginalized civilian population.

    There is no scenario where this person is not enjoying the dopamine hit from justifying human suffering. It is literally a game and generally indicative of underlying sociopathic tendencies. You are only hurting yourself by engaging with that kind of vapid egotism.

      You’re absolutely right and this is a trap that I fall in to a lot. It’s hard to let go through out the day as I keep wanting to find the “right words”. I had to go off social media entirely during Trump because it was too easy to lose my time to nothing arguments. Honestly it’s probally shades of OCD or ADHD that bring me back.

      I was starting noticing the trend here, but I appreciate the reality check. ♥ 💕
