exocrinous

Let's normalise calling boomers the participation trophy generation

I don't have a problem with zoomers, but I will make fun of them for using TikTok. It's an unhealthy social environment. I know a zoomer who struggles with tiktok addiction and always does more poorly after using that app. They've been braver and kinder since they quit it.

This is why we call them torches

You're never the only person doing anything common. What profound wisdom.

It's the definition of a troll. Being disingenuous in order to upset others. If that's not what you mean, don't call someone a troll.

I do believe trolls exist, and in my opinion the world's greatest troll is Ken M, who makes fun of people that were going to get upset anyway, and who never punches down. But I would rather use Hanlon's razor in most situations.

Partisan realists don't want to have more disagreements with people who have different politics, they want to pretend there are no disagreements and that people with different politics don't exist. They call anyone they disagree with a troll who's just lying that they disagree

Careful, you'll get banned from blahaj zone for talk like that

All the best movies are political. Star Wars, Citizen Kane, Jurassic Park, the Matrix. Nobody can name a great movie that isn't political, because politics is what makes movies fun. If they didn't have politics, they'd suck.

The original argument was about whether people change their minds in the face of evidence. The evidence says people don't change their minds in the face of evidence. The person you're saying is a troll refused to change their mind in the face of evidence. You think they should have changed their mind in the face of evidence, because you believe that people don't change their minds in the face of evidence. Correct?

Well, you think the person described in the story is a troll because nobody is that unreasonable, right? You're wrong. People really are that unreasonable. Not everyone whose words are incompatible with their actions is faking to try and trick you. Most people, like you, have some kind of made up excuse why it's okay for them to act contrary to their own beliefs. Like the state of public transport. I'm sure the person in the story has an excuse just like yours.

The average person knows that oil is making the world uninhabitable and still drives a car. In fact, when I go outside like you're suggesting, there's no more nature, I only see cars and infrastructure built for cars. So yes, the average person is this unreasonable, and going outside won't convince me otherwise.

Yes, it's a person being exactly as unreasonable as the average person tends to be. You seem unwilling to admit that people can have bad opinions. So are you part of the partisan realists?
