But I'm not backstabbing anybody. I really just want people to try to be logical instead of thinking with their feelings and doing something stupid that will make the rest of us look bad by association.
That reminds me, someone else told me to "STOP PUNCHING RIGHT" a while ago, but ironically it seems like the people in that group are actually the ones who attack the right the most.

I hope you’re young. Because then there might still be time for you to learn that logic plays almost no role in society. 90% of people either can’t process it or don’t abide by it. That’s why rhetoric is all that matters. The sooner you accept this, the better you will function in this world.
Dialectic is good for nudging people who mostly agree with you. It will never convince someone who is neutral, much less antagonistic. That's where rhetoric wins.
I'm not sure how that contradicts anything I've said. I'm already well aware that people are easily manipulated by propaganda. I was just hoping the people on this site would be a little bit better about it.
