    I get where you are coming from, but I wanted to put that out there. Not for the person I was calling bullshit on, but for everyone else reading this.

    You are right though. The only way to get through to anyone is to get them to prove their point of view. Proofs just make them argue in new ways and never learn anything.

    I guess I will leave this up as it is done already, but take what you said into consideration for the future.

      Absolutely. I took some advice after watching this video on the topic awhile ago and if anything it’s at least improved my mental health.

      I don’t agree with all the points he makes. But it’s definitely helped simplify my approach when dealing with these people spreading white supremacists talking points online.
