„Does this prove that they’re being spoon fed opinions rather than formulating their own beliefs“ If you call that good faith, I have a bridge in Alaska to sell you. Maybe don‘t try to gaslight people when they have your own words right in front of them. And if you’re that unaware that other people can comprehend speech, you should maybe get off this sub.
I‘ve not parroted a single opinion here on this post. Other than utilizing the common phrase at the beginning to signal the kind of larper you were, the core premise of my post (the idea that you never intended to engage in good faith on your arguments) continues to be proven right every time you further this line of reasoning.
I did have a look at your comments, and they do seem to be in good faith *after the ball got rolling on the discussion*. I get being defensive about presenting political points given the number of trolls on here, and I apologize for being aggressive, but I won’t apologize for my initial reaction.
Writing a post such that it implies that others are dumb for holding a certain position, and then expecting a good faith argument is fundamentally a bad faith strategy. That’s probably why you never had any productive conversation on the issue in the first place. If you want a good faith discussion, act like it from the start. Kinda stupid not to do so if having productive discussions is your actual objective.
