    Pfft, the best way to win an argument is to not have it. You know you’re right, fuck that other guy, not worth the time.

    But, what you gotta do is grab your fucking brain, slap it in the fucking cunt, tell it to shut the fuck up and do what it’s told, or it gets a thumb up its ass again.

    Now, it’s very important when disciplining your brain that you never make empty threats, so you gotta keep that thumb ready, and as soon as that fucking shit-for-brains brain talks back, you jam that thumb right up its poop chute, no excuses, no delay, no lube. You thumb fuck that brain into submission.

    If you express your viewpoint in a kind way, that’s genuinely the most “winning” you can possibly achieve.

    Convincing people in one go is not achievable by just finding the right words.

    People may disagree. They may downvote you to hell. They may thank you. They may agree. They may misunderstand.

    But as long as you write kindly, people will read what you say and give it thought. Maybe it plants a seed for them to change their mind another time.

      There’s also the trolls who argue in bad faith and only go online to bully.

      Lemmy was trolls free at first, but then the Reddit dingle berries and grammar nazi’s showed up… and all those turds deserve downvotes. I make it a personal mission to defend users here from bullying when I see it, life’s already hard enough.

    I normally don’t have a problem arguing coherently online. Talking however is a big issue sometimes.

    It might help if you practise writing with a pen on paper. No backspace key, you have to think about what you write more thoroughly. That slows you down and helps over time to gather your thoughts. And if it turns out that you’ve written garbage, just turn to a blank page and start again.

    “Winning” an online argument doesn’t make sense. I just say people to block me if they don’t want to read my opinions or I block them before if they become very annoying. Who cares. It’s not like people on the internet are my friends.
