Me: why do you believe what you believe?
Every internet ideologue: DO. NOT. QUESTION. Bigot!
There is no debate to be had, save with people whose ideological camp is so small (e.g. young Earthers, flat Earthers, anarchists) that they need to engage with people. People with mainstream opinions don't do this ever. Besides, a lot of them are paid shills, otherwise known as propagandists. I'm sure everyone is already familiar with the likes of Brooklyn Dad Defiant and Politics Girl, but I would also add Wales Nematollahi, Scott Heil, and Bill Astore to that list of people who are obviously paid to be unreasonable. Paid by whom, I cannot say, though.
Yes, I have a list. Fight me.
The bandwagon is comfortable, I suppose.
I'm not. But I have started to tune out a lot of propagandist blowhards. I only have so much time and attention to spare.
The first two names I mentioned are fairly prolific, you're lucky to not have run into them when you were still on Twitter. The other three have much smaller platforms, but I have personally interacted with them; Colonel Shit Heel is the guy who got me banned from LinkedIn after I (and several others) called him out for promoting censorship and throwing a temper-tantrum in response to his detractors. I agree, they are not worth engaging with, propagandists are best debunked from a distance.
I was never very active on Twitter even when I had an account I could log into. Aside from following a few personalities I found entertaining, like Michael Malice, I always found the whole ephemeral experience of tweets off-putting.
