Nah, it was very clearly obvious that he was not acting in good faith. So while I thought about it, I eventually just stopped with a "why bother?" Last I saw, he was claiming that he had gotten SWATed by "angry conservatives in this thread" in response to someone actually asking him for proof of the bad things Blaine had supposedly said. To which my reaction (to myself) was along the lines of "Are you actually taking the piss?"
Yea I have learned to avoid Reddit arguments. It’s an endless rabbit hole. During blm riots I got into debates simply for asking why a baseball card subreddit needs to “address” this
Same. I have basically made Reddit into a way to keep up on anime and games I like, and sometimes have low-yield discussions. But if something I am planning on saying is too far outside the hivemind, then I just keep my mouth shut unless I am on KIA1 or KIA2.
Good idea. I’m just very surprised how people are so eager to inject policy stuff into regular hobbies. The main one that I still go on regularly is the Skyrim subreddit.
Did you respond to him? Sounds like he is reading from an msnbc script

"It's not politics! It's HUMAN RIGHTS!"
They say it. Why shouldn't we?
I got so sick of that line! Lol
