It seems that a lot of them don't. I muted a guy today that wrote me a long dissertation about my Cultural Marxism piece. The whole problem (according to this moron) is a lack of regulation of businesses. That and God. He said (I hope you're sitting down) "I'm not a Marxist, but if you read Marx, he makes more sense than other economists." My favorite debate tool is the "mute button" If someone can't provide me with an intellectually (or at intelligent) based argument...I just mute them.

Marxist loons.
I'm trying to figure out a way to separate myself emotionally from their arguments, so that I can bait them with simple observable truths, get them to comment, post my reply on my blog for all to see, and do it all without bursting a blood vessel from wading too deep in stupidity., in this way demonstrating to anyone who looks the flaws in marxist "thought". I've already done it once, it worked okay. There is an added benefit of also having the smart people on Steemit to keep me honest and on my toes, by having the interaction be more public than the comment section ends up being.
My other experiment is to talk them into muting me, so I can still see what they are doing, but they can't see me. I've been successful at this a couple of times, though this has less obvious results.
The problem with countering emotional arguments is that First: they're not arguments...they're emotions. I had a professor who was "old school" who said the first person that turns in a paper that begins with "I feel that..." gets an F for the course. Cultural marxism is predicated on sophristy.
