You win debates for onlookers, you’re not meant to change the perspective of the person you’re debating, you’re meant to make them look like idiots so that any lurkers who quietly agree feel bad and change their viewpoint. The left lost because they weren’t willing to do this hard enough.
The on lookers don’t care. That’s why they are on lookers. The best you might do is prevent someone searching for an ideology blindly adopting some rando’s. Honestly, though, if they are letting rando’s arguing online form their worldview you are far from actually helping them.
It unfortunately also not a thing in real life. Tried to convince my mother’s partner that transphobia and homophobia is bad. Best I could do is to him admit it was not about “protecting the children”.
Yeah I’ve burned a depressing amount of time in conversations that aren’t going somewhere. And yet, I keep finding myself back at that toxic ass watering hole 😔
Peaceful arguments is just not a thing online. There is no learning nor seeing the other perspective - Just people being defensive and manipulative.

It never has been and never will be about protecting the children, not with the full roster of diddlers they keep in positions of authority…
A human trafficking minor fucker was tapped for AG.
Roy Moore, the guy that was supposed to replace Jeff Sessions as senator wasn’t allowed in the mall. Too diddly.
“They’re not sending their best.”
If it were constructive it would be called a discussion, not an argument or debate.
It is possible, but especially in the bigger communities its usually just throwing poop at each other(that’s at least my experience).
