I fucking hate these shitheads, I was arguing with one earlier and no matter how many facts I gave him with proper sources he just refused to actually show any kind of respect

Persuasion is difficult. For most people, facts and logic just don't matter. It is a matter of feeling.

If anyone is interested, I'd suggest looking into street epistemology on YouTube. They offer excellent examples of how to use the Socratic method to help people question their own beliefs, but also not feel like you are attacking or judging them for their beliefs.

I'll link one: https://youtu.be/A-M1EyhcRS8?si=td3mrstOSap60uJX

Someone posted a video on SE the other day and it was really cool 😎

Yeah man. The channels "cordial curiosity" and "Anthony Magnobasco" are the best in my opinion. They often tend to be about religion, but the skills are applicable in basically any kind of topic.
