    I like to talk about "high school debate tournaments" as a negative caricature of what the "free speech" crowd thinks the world should be like But in reality those tournaments have a highly valuable feature - after the time limit is up, the debate is over

        The judges declare one side the winner, the winners get to advance, and the losing side of the debate is eliminated You don't get to just keep on debating, forever

        That's the whole point The formalized artificial rules of a debate tournament are nonetheless still in the end about "silencing bad opinions" They are a ritualized simulacrum of the real-life process of waiting to see whose opinions are bad then telling them to shut the fuck up

        The obnoxious thing about these chuds on the Internet and in op-ed sections treating everything as a debate is that they want it to be an ENDLESS debate A debate that it is IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE Unless debating is just pure masturbation for you, what the hell is the point of that

        The thing about those high school debate tournaments is that they’re used to determine the better debater, not the better argument (and even that is a fraught issue)

        Isn't the problem now that the winner is the one that gets more clicks and thus asked back?

        Seems like in a lot of contexts "winner" is shorthand for "revenue generator", and while sometimes that means getting clicks, it can also mean getting approval from monied interests.

        Interesting, a feature of the debate game that I usually think of as part of how it's a BS exercise unrelated to anything like actually comparing the merits of ideas.
