This shit happens far too often. Between the YouTube links that “prove” their bullshit, to the thousand-word copypasta essay that doesn’t contain a single original thought.

Yeah. I’m not doing that.

Your loss, you would just have to educate yourself on basic shit, here's a short one for your attention span.

You know links are shown in thumbnails, right?

EDIT: oh shit I get the joke. Man, that’s some meta stuff! You got me there, bud.

Just not in the obvious way

Well done. Only you forgot the /s

Only video that's ever made sense to me.

Or, worse, the essay doesn't support their argument at all. Because they didn't actually read it in the first place.

Yeah that's right, disregard the rock solid evidence they laid out!! /s

Sometimes I back up my argument with entire books lmao. Its not usually for the person I am arguing with. Its for the people who see the argument and are curious

You should be able to explicate your own argument, though. "Read this book" isn't convincing on its own.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, you need to take specific portions of the book to support your argument. I won't just say "read Fanon" but will give a a specific example from the book in addition to the more general example of the entire work, plus encourage them to read more.

Honestly such a power move

Just point to the dictionary. "Draw your own conclusions, bro"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I got a YouTube link to a 30 minute mumbler.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Perfect response.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

That's brutal.
