They also tell them that they must listen to them otherwise they don't believe in free speech or that they are stifling debate. It's ludicrous. Everyone has the right not to engage. People are tired. They want access to the latest information but are less interested in the debate club aspect.
- tsuujin 3y agoI’d be interested in a debate club, but social media has yet to provide me with one. Debates really require a good faith attempt to assert and defend a position, where social media swings heavily towards a popularity contest where the loudest voice wielding the most emotionally charged rhetoric wins. I know it sounds like I’m just being pedantic, but I think it’s important to acknowledge that few people are actually interested in genuine discourse online. I have to remind myself of that so that I don’t get tempted into pointless arguments.
