right now, if you disagree with someone, they will pretend to disagree with the most evident of points you make, just incase

it might later bolster your argument. It's ridiculous. Sometimes they might even ask you what your view is, before they answer, so they can best twist definitions and what they pretend to be common sense, to suit their argument. If you want a serious debate and you want to make the world a better place, I think we all know that honesty with yourself is where it starts. Seriously, what's the point of even interacting with people? If you have to lie to yourself to prove your case, you need to look at what you believe.

Right? I get so fucking bored with people who will just never question or change anything they've already accepted as true.

@BlueVeins People engage in so many logical fallacies, layering them one on top of each other. And completely give into the many mental weaknesses we have, such as conforming to authority. i can understand someone being brainwashed. But a grown adult, believing that research goes likes this "news outlet smeared a person with what they consider a bad person. Smearing them is an argument. Their smear is accurate because I don't question that source's authority. Looking at what the targeted person actually said themselves, aka checking the primary source is unreliable". When you add the censorship from governments and social media giants to this, it gets frighteningly orwellian.
