If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

    You’re not gonna change their mind.

    You’d be better spending your time breaking a brick wall with your skull.

    Fuck em. Block em.

    • Sometimes, it’s not about changing their mind, but influencing the many others who are less certain in their beliefs who are just reading along.

        If someone can be convinced into racism and hatred they were predisposed to assholery anyway.

        Fair though.

        Suppose I am too jaded to entertain them anymore. Can only hear so much before entertaining the nonsense wears on my mental.
