I’d have more success genuinely arguing with brick walls sometimes and I genuinely want to believe I am being baited because I would have more faith in humanity if that were true. The problem is it doesn’t feel like bad faith when their arguments are so bad I can’t piece together what part of my position they are even attempting to challenge.

I blocked most of the people who I encounter this with but I keep one around simply because of how much they perplex me. Also they have a silly username and I think that’s chill.

Edit: what if they are just giving me a strawman to beat so my arguments look good? Secret comrade? /s
