    Look mate i agree but when arguing with comservatives that the exact same attitude that they give you and it annoys me because it is not a real argument to say “you are wrong and have no critical thinking skills” yet here we are again.

      Conservatives are wrong and are reactionary in a way that shows they have no critical thinking skills. It is ok to acknowledge that.

        It won’t win anyone to your side if you’re trying to convince them and say that though. That’ll just harden them in their views.

        If you really want to reduce the influence of the right then you’d want to stop that sort of language spreading

          No, treating them as reasonable people is the reason they took power. They cannot be reasoned with as proven by decades of them hardening their views while they were treated as “reasonable people with differing views”.

          No, I won’t cater to the idea that pointing out problems makes them worse.
