I think you’re absolutely positively spot-on with this mindset.

I have a habit of engaging as well, and I also have a bad personality trait of liking to be correct. But. I also think that people spewing bullshit online is at least as bad, probably/usually much worse.

Engaging for the benefit of others is the key. Although sometimes, once in a blue moon, you’ll get these chads who will go “oh yeah, good point” or something similar, and actually admit – with a comment! – that they were in the wrong. I always make sure to let them know they are good people for being open minded like that.

Spread truth, but also love.
