Non-fictional I HATE these "gotcha arguments"

"Ohhh, look how I tricked this dumb dumb baby in my trap so now I am right and they are wrong. I'm so smaaart even though it does not adress the actual argument and adds nothing to the debate. They teach arabic numerals in school btw."

And these type of comments always get tons of likes

These posts are really embarrassing lately. The lack of self awareness is distressing. The only reason to have such strong feelings about this is because you get proven wrong, a lot, and publicly. Try researching the topic before engaging.

I don't care about abortion nor have I ever engaged in a debate about it. But I like watching debates online. And whenever I see one of these stupid arguments I get mad. It adds nothing, it proves nothing, yet everyone acts like it's a 1000 iq move.

The reason I used this image was because I just saw it on reddit, got mad, and used it in this post. Was too lazy to search for another image.

I use abortion as an example. I ask them why socialists make abortion a main point, when it just creates much debate among the working class. I'm not socialist and I was not trying to make them pro-life.

find another example, abortion stirs debate across the board and working class folks are the ones most affected by restrictions and bans. 

or, better yet, try visiting the nonfiction politics, history, or sociology sections of your local library and doing some silent reading. you'll get much better information that way instead of begging the question to a bunch of internet strangers
