When people argue in bad faith, there is no reason to engage with them. Just shun them and shut them off.

- sschueller 5y agoIsn't that in the end going to result in civil war if that shunted out crowed gets too large? I have to disagree, sure some are arguing just for the sake of it but the majority are not. They get bits and pieces of the discord and don't really know what is going on. No bad faith there.
- Applejinx 5y agoWhen people are arguing in bad faith to seize political power, they're going to go for civil war anyhow. They're stepping away from negotiation and committing to war. It's fair to ask how intensely you react to it (no sense becoming mirror fascists, which the fascists will immediately accuse you of being anyhow) but it's not reasonable to ignore the reality.
