Missing the decades in which they tried persuading, debating, discussing and educating up to this tipping point, this final straw, all to no avail.
Are we supposed to just keep trying forever, pointlessly? Exhaustingly? Every day? For another 30 years?
At some point for our own mental wellbeing it’s time to consider that some people will simply never change, are closed to any and all discussions, and it’s best for ourselves to stop trying over and over, and focus on our own mental health instead.
I was idealistic once, and would have said there’s never a time to stop trying to fix other people, to help them see a different viewpoint, or mortality, etc, but some people just can’t be fixed. All you’re really doing by continuing to try is breaking yourself in the process. Be kind to yourself <3
dont feed the troll - felix will say the most misogynistic shit imaginable and then hide behind the smarmiest “its just jokes y u so mad bro??”
only reason ive not blocked felix is so i can bring this shit up when they post obvious ragebait
not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll though.
i often see people blocking others (me for example) just because they aren’t comfortable with having a debate with someone with completely opposite views.
in that case blocking isn’t “not feeding the troll” but more “staying safe in your bubble”.
the fact that OP is (apparently) a cringelord doesn’t make that particular point wrong.
A few key points to live by:
- Not everything needs to be debated
- Even if you’re right, you can still be wrong
- Opinions are like assholes: everyone has them, and they usually stink
- People are allowed to prioritize their own mental health above someone else’s feelings
- Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay
- no, but we are talking about preserving your own bubble, which is a completely different matter.
- we aren’t talking about winning or losing, being right or wrong. it’s just about discussing, which isn’t always supposed to have a definite outcome.
- and if you put your own out there you should expect to be confronted with mine.
- living in a bubble isn’t healthy though, which is the topic of the comic here. not engaging is perfectly fine and I do it too.
- yes, that’s exactly what I meant.
I see why people often block you lol
👨🍳🤌🫴
I know right? you just point someone wrong and they get upset… smh
People leave the room when they walk in.
Felix is definitely a Russian grandpa
This is a type of pettiness I can get behind!
Debate? Have you tried persuade tankie that Putin’s action on Ukraine is bad?
You say that as if Trump isnt worse, who invaded iraq again? If youre not killing the president f the USA personally right now you cant say shit about anything.
I have to travel to the other side of the globe to kill the president, who the fuck have money and time for that?
And what does that have anything to do with my point? And when did Trump invade iraq? It’s iran. Both are fucking worst, but tankie support putin, not trump, so again, it has nothing to do with my point.
Yeah i was hoping the /s wasnt necessary.
My bad, it really looks like an actual opinion
same here to be honest.
The ending bit is hard to read with sarcasm when I’ve seen the exact same sentiment from the 3 big tankstances.
The /s was absolutely necessary. I thought you were stating an opinion.
Ah yes, when far right extremists complain about people not wanting to listen to them.
Fitting OP’s account as usual.
Amazing. With no awareness.
This isn’t a ‘far right’ problem.
Don’t bother, this user brands “far right” anybody who they disagree with.
No, just misogynistic craps :)
don’t you think this is an ironic comic to post for an account whose main contributions to this community are comics in the format of “turns to guy I don’t like: you are fucking stupid”
This assumes good intent no? Usually the issues I’m not willing to debate or discuss with some dick head is because they’re, in fact not trying to debate with good intent.
yeah feels like %90 online discussions now a days are in bad faith
Great, sounds like the comic isn’t about you, then.
What? I can’t post a comment, boss?
Where did you get that from?
I think it’s a joke, closely related to the comic.
The irony of posting this to Lemmy
Ah, you’re right. Instead, I should waste away my precious little free time in pointless online “”““debates””“” with people who may or may not be AI propaganda chatbots.
easy counterargument would be: even your own bubble could be full of chatbots you agree with.
But at least I won’t waste all day arguing with them.
I’m not debating my right to literally exist with anyone. Fuck right off.
Right? This isn’t about pineapple on pizza. It’s jot even how taxes should be spent, or the economy on general.
If you’re against my right as a human being to exist, there’s nothing to pursuade or debate. Just fuck off out of my life.
The poster of this fascist boomer shit is exactly who I expected.
I think if Reddit/Lemmy users want to do anything more than preaching to the choir during their time online and build actual bridges, they need to go on Facebook. Because there’s no way Facebook boomers are coming over here.
Or you could, you know: go outside and talk to people IRL? (touching grass, as it were)
Yes, that is the best solution of all
But…then I have to talk to someone…
Who is that 3rd person?
Stefan, who was sleeping with both of them until last week.
The 4th pic shows a number of people in their little bubbles.
Are you a bot?
Didn’t you just post something with the opposite message, not even a month ago?
I can’t tell if these are meant as messages or just observations
Edit: I had not considered the third possibility: shitposts
If I wasn’t against it, social media would not show me this.
Everything is better disconnected online. There no convincing people online. Only in person, where people are more moderate, and more likely to express more moderate views or not fall/goad into petty debate.
… except for Felix.
