Cookies and Fascism

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
The problem with this is that the trolls will have more time to sealion than you do, so even if you are confidently and eloquently rejecting their ideas, they will just keep flinging new bullshit until you run out of energy and they get the last word.
The last word rarely matters, what will leave an impression is the overall tone of the discussion. Once they start going in circles, you can wrap up your position too.
Most importantly, if you don't feel like you have the energy to engage in a discussion, just leave it, you don't owe the internet masses your energy.
