This is basically the alt-right approach to debate. They don't care about being right, they just want to own the libs.

This.

I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen "tank man" incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn't share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.

When I said "the incident did happen and there's photographic evidence" she told me "Google it there's no photo "

Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There's more than one, actually.

I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument "that photo is known to be staged."
