The really funny thing here is that Elon’s Twitter has openly complied with censorship orders from Hungary already. The free speech stuff is fake. Twitter does overt political censorship on request.

It’s honestly a travesty what’s happened to Reddit. If I want to search for a forum topic or something where random people give their honest opinions, Reddit was about the only place left on the internet and now that’s gone too.
I think you’re remembering it wrong and comparing different groups of people.
The person you’re talking to is unlikely to be pursuaded but there’s usually silent, invisible lurkers who can be.
I know I’ve changed my mind on things because of arguments I’ve read on the internet.
It is proven that people do double down on their views when confronted with opposing evidence, but IMO this is more about the psychology of trust and confrontation between individuals, rather than proof of the futility of argument as a concept. Hell, Vsauce made a video called ‘The Future of Reasoning’, where he makes the case that argument might have been selected for as an essential part of human psychology and necessary for our survivial.
The trick is to argue with the voices in your own head and simply project them on to other people’s comments.
Actually History isn’t always written by the victors. After WW2 a load of german officers fled to south America and began writing books about how great they were and could have won if only they had finished developing all their wonder weapons in time. This is the origin of a lot of persistent and false memes about how advanced and brilliant the nazis supposedly were. It’s history written by losers.
True! There needs to be logic, rhetoric and media training taught in schools, and media orgs should be removed from the control of wealthy individuals.
I think the Tankies have already made their minds up. The real people who won’t be voting Biden are some % people who saw the debate.
I’m not endorsing it ffs, I mean a bunch of people have gotten spooked by vaccines over covid.
I’m not surprised. The quality of education has been going downhill and there’s been a recent vaccine scare.
Same people.
The key to solving problems to take breaks.
I think it’s more that the right wing media tries to identify grievances and then provides rationalizations for them. I don’t think this is an organic, ground-up process.
seems they’re a little upsetti spaghetti about US letting Ukraine launch attacks across the border with their weapons.
I honestly think conservative media just tries to start as much shit as possible so they have something to talk about.
At this point they probably start out by picking some slightly complex idea that’s objectively correct and then work backwards to find a way to disagree with it.
Some truly goofy goobers
They both suck and Waymo’s has a whole ass sensor thingie on the roof. So it’s insane that Tesla’s is even legal given that they rely entirely on cameras and fate.
Only 160k? Damn, I hope for democracy’s sake he tries a little harder to win back the voters he lost over Gaza.
My bad, it was Turkey, not Hungary.
