Most political issues are a waste of time even trying to talk about on social media, because people on all sides love their echo chambers, and any reasonable argument from a different viewpoint is met with consternation, rather than a healthy debate.
Generally agree with this, and I say this as a Marxist debate pervert. However, I have managed to win over people, so it isn't all a waste.
How did you win them over?
I have some small discussions with Cowbee and my experience was that heβs much more reasonable to talk to than most other people with similar viewpoints.
