  • I’ve seen this a few times and I will never not downvote it as it’s completely the wrong sentiment to take to someone throwing literal rocks at you, no matter your size.

    Someone causing you harm isn’t going to suddenly stop harming you because you’re taking the high road, no, they’re going to continue with it and get more brazen with it because you just let them get away with it.

    Forgiveness, when undeserved, only leads to toxic and abusive relationships with toxic and abusive people.










  • Often, it’s not about the person you’re arguing against, it’s for the people watching who are on the fence.

    If you can keep yourself calm, rational, and present convincing evidence, then you can save some people from falling into those conspiracy and religious holes from which they may never return.

    Sometimes you get lucky and bring someone back from the brink.

    It’s estimated about 2% of Americans believe Earth is flat, and a further 9% aren’t sure what shape it is.

    2% of Americans is near 7,000,000 people. Near 40,000,000 don’t believe the Earth is a ball or are unsure.

    Even if you can’t convince the 2%, that’s still roughly 33,000,000 people in America alone you could potentially help with critical thinking. We need all the help we can get.
