I engage with these people a lot and they just deny and say the strangest things as a response.
“Oh yeah, who started the war then! How dare Trump try and save Ukraine and Russian lives”

  • the last Republican guy I talked to about this

They just keep it going and going, it doesn’t matter what you cite or reference. Like what do we say?

In real life?

Russia invaded Ukraine after annexing Crimea. Russia stole Ukraine land and then invaded what was left.

Then, walk away.

Online?

Russia invaded Ukraine after annexing Crimea and then provide links.

This isn't for the online person, but for people that come after. Don't comment any further.

Not after annexing Crimea. They invaded Ukraine when they stole Crimea.

[-] OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I agree, but make sure to not make things more complicated for the recepients of this message. Fuzzing about details is a great way to make people think that the overall message is flawed, incomplete or even wrong.

skim read that last sentence something about führer

sounded about right

[-] Gowron_Howard@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

You just don’t engage. It’s impossible to have a conversation with or win an argument with a fool.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I've given up. When I realize I'm talking to a MAGAt, just disengage as gracefully as possible. If I can't get away, try and change the subject. If it's in a group setting, I might slap a fact-dick on the table once to make a point of opposition as a signal to the group.

[-] AlecSadler 5 points 2 months ago

I've never had luck. It's like reasoning with a toddler and arguing with a brick wall and trying to have discourse with a toy you pull the string on and it just repeats the same 5 things over and over.

They're fucking idiots that have been bred and brainwashed to be scared and fearful and lash out. They're like an angry stray dog, except I believe dogs can be rehabilitated - I don't know if I'm convinced of the same for these people.

Our eyes are begging us to stop rolling them.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Recently, some idiot had a demo on how the cop put his knee on George Floyd. Now his knee was right between the shoulder blades. I stated...ugh it was on his neck!

Multiple MAGAts responded...."no it wasn't!", "The knee wasn't on the neck though!"

So I found a picture. A few of them deleted their comments but others still don't believe it...."You can make a picture of anything"

Like dude, we all saw it....wtf. The MAGA brain rot is real.

[-] liuther9@feddit.nl 8 points 2 months ago

It is buffling, its almost like we are not the same species. How is it possible to be this dumb? I don't know...

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

It's deliberate. Deliberate ignorance. Just pushing it all away.

Great, now spread it on actual right-wing sites and social media and not just places like Lemmy for upvotes from the 99.9999% of people here who would agree with you.

edit: apparently some of the 99.9999% really rather masturbate to this content than even hear the mild suggestion that it can be weaponized for good. I am genuinely a LITTLE surprised how much it triggers some people to suggest leaving a safe-space and actually putting yourself at risk of humiliation and gasp downvotes from strangers, but really, this is a fine image-thing, now lets use it where it matters. These sites and communities should be our staging areas for waging war. Not a place to suck each other off for having the same opinions, or worse, infighting with your allies.

[-] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

You could be doing that too instead of being a smarmy shit

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This may be a shock to you, but there are other sites out there where actual bad people go and see things, I have to warn you though, they will argue with you, and I know the folks here are pretty sensitive about such things.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Jesus christ, learn to use a period every now and then.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

This is incoherent.

I am blocking you.

There. Some periods. Enjoy.

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

I am blocking you

The EU will use this as proof that age verification is needed for lemmy.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Somebody is a little too thin skinned to be on the internet unsupervised

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Do me! Do me!

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The fact that you both assume I don't AND got pissed that some faceless stranger's general advice made you feel like you're personally not doing enough, is actually succulent.

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Can you be a good sport then, and act on your own succulently awesome general advice?
Show us the way!

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

My brother in christ, or whatever the fuck you are, I have been banned on most platforms and have new running accounts just for this and debating mindless, heartless morons into the fucking ground.

I'm sorry, point me towards the Conservative fucking lemmy communities that are receptive to outsiders and debate LOL or are you not aware there are other social media platforms out there?

It's a weird effect that when someone feels called out by a broad, sweeping statement that they have to jump in and invent stories in their head based on absolutely no evidence to preserve some kind of triggered pride. It's very transparent and comes across as childish.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also, you're blocked, continue to be a dancing clown for whatever audience you feel needs to know how awesome you are.

[-] 2ndSkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Block me, too!! Block me, too!!
(and brag about it, lolololol)

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

You really don't see the irony, huh?

[-] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Bruh most of Lemmy is smarmy

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Release the Epstein files.

I mean... there is a small part of DC that is a hell hole... y'all know where I'm talking about, the place where people in suits gather. And some weird house with an oddly-shaped office

Immigrants are responsible for pretty much all of our country's problems. Well, immigrants and their descendents. Elon musk, Freidrich Drumpf, etc.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I mean, if you're a native American, you've been saying this for centuries!

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

If 14 years is old enough to consent, how come you don't let them buy guns, huh?

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Because then 14 year olds could protect themselves from being raped by them.

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

What's this "14-yo's are not adults" thing about

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Donny 2 Dolls is on record, having been asked by an interviewer about what age is too young for a girl to start dating him....His answer was that 12...13 years is probably too young......

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

There’s also a LOT of child marriage due to “religious reasons” in rural areas, in places where they’re now rolling back child labor laws as well.
