    I think Musk is a hack and a conman, but what the fuck is with lefty twitter accounts that think behaving like a completely braindead troll online will sway anyone? Hexbears on lemmy have the same style of moronic shit slinging.

      People have given up on actually swaying people, as it’s been seen that the most entrenched opinions never ever ever change their stance about anything, regardless of evidence shown.

      The most enjoyable thing to do thus is openly mock them, making their entrenched lives miserable.

        You are overrestimating the effect this sort of discourse has on people, they are mildly annoyimg at best, and the “mockery” only has the effect of making them look ridiculous.

      Yeah it’s weird, I think a lot of people use being left wing as an excuse to give up on trying to be a decent person in any way, like ‘I’m on the right side of history therefore anything I do us automatically good and right and heroic’ it’s annoying.

      I guess the bright side is that there’s a lot of idiots in the world and if they’re going to vote progressive left as their excuse to be an idiot that’s better than nothing.

      Also I hate ‘let’s do a lefty podcast, it’ll be 90% dick and cum jokes, 10% other juvenile shit and occasionally we’ll mention something that happened in politics if we can get a dick joke out of it’
