The whole point of the "debate me" talking point is to make the people they hate spend all their time jumping through whatever hoops they set up. Even when you resist their oppression, your existence must be defined by doing whatever they say.

Apologies, comrade. My point being, so often these types just want to attack your position, an effective tactic (if you want to bother engaging earnestly, which I heavily disavow as a good idea, do not engage with the "debate me" crowd) is to flip it on them and go "hey, so what do you want to have happen?" and then just go full Socratic method on them until they say something monstrous.

It is a good tactic and yeah it lets you define terms of the debate rather than the other way around.

I mean the counter is to engage in good faith and not have awful opinions to accidentally blurt out, but that's rarely a concern

once we rebrand socialism as “the government doing anything at all” we will have successfully made everyone unhappy. this is bound to end up being the Democratic platform by 2024.

They aren't communists, they are state capitalists.

e: To be fair, I think they would say they are moving through the necessary period of capitalist build-up and those billionaires better enjoy it while it lasts because once they've finished eradicating extreme poverty in rural areas then they're coming for the cities next. What the future actually holds, who knows.

I found the hottest take about the hottest roof fire currently happening:

quote:

is there actually a point in rebuilding the cathedral if enough of it is a pile of charcoal, glass shards, and rocks

aside from the tourism value, after a certain point it just makes more economic sense to just bulldoze the remains and build something more useful to modern society
