Don't you mean stop paying attention?

• imustbeevil 8y ago
  It's a quote. I read this quote as "pay attention when someone stops making rational arguments because it means they don't have any rational arguments". If you aren't paying attention you'll miss the switch between what is reasonable and what is emotionally manipulative.

  No. The argument is that, when statements are labeled "divisive" rather than "wrong", that's telling you that there is something that, socially, you're not allowed to say (which was the topic of the essay that the quote came from).
