      1/ When I encounter opinions like this IRL I usually just ask "what part of it did you disagree with? what poorly reasoned argument did he make?" https://twitter.com/rachelbovard/status/1133401923552288768 …

      2/ The answer (depending on what object-level thing is under debate) will usually be "you can't just force a person to XYZ" or "the big drug companies paid for the study" or something similar. So then I reply >>>

      3/ "OK. But you said that the study was flawed / the legal reasoning was stupid. What was the flaw in the study? How was the legal reasoning stupid?" This goes a few rounds until they admit that they never read the study or the SCOTUS brief or whatever.

      4/ I'm unsure if this Socratic dialogue has ever taught a single one of them anything. ...but I keep trying.

          Kidding aside, dialectic appears to be the only way to have anything resembling a reasonable argument online. Nobody reads anyone else's sources anyway. Everyone considers them to be tainted (genetic fallacy) or cherry-picked.

          It taught me that I was retarded and need to go back to fundamentals and STFU. Some folks do listen.

          Yeah, just had a dispiriting argument like that the other day. "I don't like him." "Why?" "Cause I don't like him."

          In my experience, people are generally very resistant to changing their opinions on anything that is remotely related to politics. Political faction is the purest narcotic I have ever encountered.
