Folks can hold a fundamental belief: it isn't necessarily from a clear reason. Sooner or later they will ascribe to a reason or cause. I meet that with factual information. Then the ping-pong starts.

Generally there is a counter challenge. Some may feel it is my part to disprove their challenge.

My response is "you made the claim, you back it up". Then I ask for their source of information.

Silence is the usual response.

It always helps to have a strong fund of information.

Sadly, anger is a powerful attractant. The algos know this.

It’s such a bummer how well the algos work. Optimized for misery and profit.

It’s been a slow road to keeping my mouth shut, but it works wonders. Also, fuck the internet! 🙌
