re: #363 thedopefishlives
It’s not easy. What it boils down to is keeping a punching bag close by to relieve any pent-up fury. For me, it helps to dissociate the topic under discussion from the discussion itself, because all conspiracy theorists talk alike - they just substitute different words depending on which theory they’re discussing. A lot of the time, I can argue with a denier or CTer on any subject even without any actual knowledge of my own, simply because they’re reciting the same tired talking points as every other CT.
My new meme:
the argument goes like this:
1-blah, bah-Jesus!
2-blah, blah -The Constitution
3-blah, blah, The Founding Fathers
4-blah, blah, Jesus!
Is that about right for the CT’ers as well?
