    Posting “posting isn’t praxis” isn’t praxis either. But like, there is value in theory, and you must believe that or else you would’ve believed it was pointless to post “posting isn’t praxis”.

    You didn’t say this?

    You think throwing the word theory in there changes the meaning significantly?

    You are too clever by half my friend.

    THE CONTRADICTION IS THE POINT.

    Nothing is designed to convince you of anything, none of this. If I convince you I am immediately wrong. Please get it. Please think. Please I’ve never had to make something so simplified for a self professed “debater”. This isn’t a debate! This is me telling you why debating is pointless and you insisting I’m losing a debate.

    THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO CHANGE MY MIND (about posting changing minds) IS TO CHANGE YOURS. IF YOU CHANGE YOURS YOU PROVE YOUR NEW POSITION AND MY CURRENT POSITION WRONG. THUS THERE IS NO WIN STATE FOR MY STATEMENT, IT IS UNPROVABLE.

      “you must believe posting can change minds or you wouldn’t be posting”

      vs

      But like, there is value in theory, and you must believe that or else you would’ve believed it was pointless to post “posting isn’t praxis”.

      Those are two different things.

      Also:

      you insisting I’m losing a debate.

      Yet another thing that I literally never said. You couldn’t have made it clearer that you’re not listening and not interested in anything I have to say.

      You haven’t convinced me that it’s impossible to change minds, but you have convinced me that you personally can’t be convinced of anything as you are right now, and that you personally are incapable of convincing other people of anything on purpose. I guess I agree that you’re a mess, that’s something you said and which I took on board. Does that count?

      Don’t answer. Don’t care. Fuck off.
