>>96520024This is a bad point of view to have. I know it seems to make sense on the outside, but when you dig into the logic here, you see how inconsistent it is.
These people have quickly gained in support because they use the basic trolling maxim - it takes more effort to refute bad logic than to come up with it in the first place. So people don't respond to them, so their ideas go unchallenged, so people see those unchallenged posts and agree, because there's no counterpoint. In this very thread, I actually glossed over and semi-internalized that guy's post before I read a reply and realized what kind of stupid shit he was saying.
If somebody makes a dumb, unsubstantiated statement, you need to make a dumb, unsubstantiated statement back at them to counter it in the minds of those who read it. Only when they actually begin defending their position do you begin adding substance to your own posts. THEY know this, and that's why they're doing so fucking well - because nobody fucking uses their own tactics against them.
ALWAYS call out retard posts when you see them. If you don't, then when somebody inevitably does, there are ten retards waiting in the wings to attack them. You have to call them out in order to spread their forces thin and show just how much power your side has.
Ignoring your opponent only works if your opponent is shooting themselves in the foot. If they aren't, then you're just letting them run around unopposed - because while you may be ignoring them, others are reading and beginning to agree with those posts.
