So if you're anti nazi, would you engage once in a debate on whether the jews really destroyed the German economy and Hitler was protecting his people, or would you tell them to fuck off?
Isn't defending a viewpoint with evidence kinda important even if you think the viewpoint is a "no brainer?"
Nobody owes anyone on the internet a well-researched argument, but those who are up to the task of making them can be pretty influential. Maybe even start to chip away at the corruption of people who have fallen to intolerance propaganda... not all of them are doomed.
One of my best friends is a former manosphere incel. I'm a former perpetually-offended Tumblr SJW. Both of us changed our viewpoints because people pointed out flaws with them. Not everyone changes their viewpoints but some do—though likely not when confronted only with "fuck off"
I think it's better to make fun of people for their stupid beliefs. When they realize nobody takes them seriously, they may reevaluate their positions. Did this happen a lot to you and your friend?
not sure about my friend but back then I always responded to being made fun of by further isolating myself among like-minded people lol
