see, this is what sucks about reddit, because this guy is an idiot lib but I'm sure he could be convinced. but since the conversation is on reddit, we have no choice but to bash his head in with a rock. oh well.

    I have a theory that internet debate is mostly useless as a way to convince people because we're all just text on a screen instead of people. This might be mitigated within internet communities, where users recognize each other and take each other somewhat seriously, but randos arguing can never ever convince the other of anything significant.

    We're all just NPCs in the posting RPG
