On one hand it’d be nice to be able to have some discussion about what sort of government involvement is needed in society. But at least in terms of the US, until the overton window puts some healthy distance between it and fascism, there’s zero point in talking to cons online. They’re literally unwilling to accept reality or basic facts-- what’s the point?
I don’t really engage often with them, I’m just interested in hearing how they view stuff, how it differs from me, how they reconcile this and that and so on.
It’s hard for me not to engage with their opinions. Like “no, that’s not how that works,” “There’s more to it than that,” “there are several things wrong with what you said.” There’s no point trying to argue on the Internet, but some of their comments make me angry. I especially hate when they support something just to “own them libs” like that takes priority over peoples’ well-being.

It can be very engaging. But if you consider that they don’t have any internal consistency, you always lose
LMAO, you should post that image on the new !conservative@lemmy.world
