Do you ever argue with people or do you just walk away?

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I prefer an exploratory conversation to any "argument". And if they are receptive to exploring an idea I will continue. If they are arrogant and not interested in dialogue then I will let them know they are being unconstructive and will leave it at that.
Sometimes I get heated although I am learning to be more dispassionate when talking to liberals You have to save energy. Sometimes you will run into a point with certain people where they are so convinced already of their stance that it's pointless ex they say Ukraine doesn't have a Nazi problem and Russia is evil.
At that point you're not going anywhere.
At that point I like to drill into the uncomfortable logistics of their maximalist opinions (are Russian people themselves evil? Why? How about their kids?) but yeah, it usually goes nowhere good
Yeah. I actually would refrain from doing that with people you care about, too. Just not worth it. Marxists need friends and family too and being a Marxist in the west is very lonely. But yeah if it's someone you don't like or they're a stranger and you've got an audience sometimes it's game on lol.
