        They say that you shouldn’t argue with idiots because they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

        It’s a skill issue, I think too many erudite people refuse to appropriately educate themselves in the ways of the disingenuous, ignorant, and uneducated because those things are incongruent with truth and knowledge.

        They lack the understanding that you need to practice arguing with idiots to get better at arguing with idiots; so they never develop the skills to be pointedly obtuse, belligerent and mean in an effective manner to shut down and wind out other belligerent people. Subsequently they lack the knowledge on how to fight back against wilfully ignorant or disingenuous speech.

        For a nerdy analogy I’m the grey jedi of argumentation.

          They literally did the pigeon shitting on a chess board and trotting around like they won bit too… said “take the L” and everything after an exhausting explanation about how they’re being intentionally dense and refusing to acknowledge context.

          Typical…

            Not sure it’s the same person, but I responded to them if you want some more entertainment. Let the master class continue.

      You got your shit rocked, take the L with dignity, no need to stoop to the level of personal insults if you’re so smart.

        _Reposting this part of the masterclass because apparently mods can’t read prior context and need to lest they consider themselves included. http://lemmy.world/comment/2876316_

        Sure there is, people like you are too stupid, ignorant, and incompetent to participate in the conversation you want to have yet you will continue to try because you have the functional mental capacity of an amoeba. This comment is proof, you’re so wilfully ignorant and incapable of checking your own ego that you can’t help but be disingenuous and belligerent because that’s the limit of your knowledge.

        When it’s obvious that you lack even the slightest chance of cognizance then there’s no longer any point in trying to “discuss” or "converse"with you because you lack the fundamental skills to participate and are literally too stupid to realise your own incapabilities, leaving just one course of interaction, derision and humiliation of your crayon munching capacity.

        Like trying to teach a dog how to tie a shoe, you just don’t have it in you to participate, but you’ll try and think you’re participating anyway
