    You don’t understand what sealioning is if you think that’s what it is.

    That’s socratic dialogue, not sealioning.

    When someone asks questions to illuminate a path of thinking that leads the questioner to the answer they were looking for, that’s a totally different thing than trying to mislead the questioner and the onlookers by asking misleading questions.

    You got a discussion on the topic. You got someone that took the time to show you the answer to your question by taking you on a tour of your own thinking.

      What does, “why is nervous bad?” have to do with “why is authoritarianism bad?” GTFO

      There was nothing socratic about it. They literally just took the last thing I said and went, “why?”

      Socrates would laugh in your face.

        Okay, now you’ve progressed to being an asshole to someone engaging with you in good faith.

        If that’s the way you want to be as a person, there’s nothing I can do to change it, so have a good day.
