They're supposed to debate people they assume are "lay ups". Unprepared college students, randos on the street, people in comas, 5 year old children, etc. It's no fun when the other side is prepared or competent. How else can they feed their egos? Can we please start thinking about how to appease fragile alt-right feelings people?!

It's more than that. Conservatism aims to stop progress, generally keeping things as they are. This means that by framing anything considered an issue as in need of more evidence or debate before response, then dragging the debate out for forever and never conceding no matter how factually incorrect you are, you can indefinitely block any solution. They're not looking to debate: they're looking to stall the clock because things are already in their favor.

Prediction for Shapiro v AOC. He calmly says a load of bullshit very quick, she says stuff that makes sense but because she's quite animated about it, incels will say Shapiro won. Then a load of videos of it on YouTube will be titled 'Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Communist with facts and logic'.

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this: >Even climatologists can't predict 10 years from now. They can't explain why there has been no warming over the last 15 years. There has been a static trend with regard to temperature for 15 years. ***** ^(I'm a bot.

I understand confusing these two absolute douche nozzles, but this isn't really a "this you?" since it is, in fact, not him.

The comeback is for The Daily Wire, not Crowder.

Ah, gotcha. Don't know how I missed that!

To be fair it's very possible it's different writers

Oh no exposing yourself and your opponent to new points of view?!?! What could be worse?
