It feels like everything is up for debate now, yet it has never been less productive to debate anyone on anything. Truth is gone, conceptually superseded.

- mrtksn 2y agoI agree but I blame it on the structure. People are at different stages of understanding something and on the social media everyone at every stage debates at the same time. In real life, we we progress through a path and when someone who is just starting comes up with the same questions we debated some time ago we don't simply go back and do it again. That newbie is handled by appropriate group until they catch up.
- _cenw 2y agoI don't think it's a matter of experience, it's a matter of belief. I just engaged someone who was adamant that someone who said "Q is legit" and "It's okay to be white" doesn't have necessarily have a right wing drift because if you take the reasonable out of reasonable doubt, you can always doubt something.
- pandemic_region 2y agoYes, truth is gone. But, we should never lose hope that things will straighten out again eventually.
