On Lemmy it's more like, I realised I was wrong 5 comments ago and now I'll just trying to soothe my ego by arguing semantics, but when I run out of things to say I'll just block everyone.

    I love how everyone thinks they're master debaters here but would get absolutely dog-walked in any other setting. Or just laughed out of the room

    Hey now, I know I'd get stomped on by twats like Ben Shapiro IRL, but give me 10 minutes alone in a bedroom with his sister and I'll make him regret it.

    Believe it or not, that's not really a disqualifier to competitors. The sport is pretty professional and uses a way different skillset than people realize, fluent unbroken english not being one of them

    In an argument they will. That's not really what I'm talking about though, arguing is never not stupid, people do it just to debase themselves in front of their acquaintances in the hopes that they'll drag someone else down in the process.

    Check this out, you don't have to watch the whole thing. But these people are the best in the world. The competition is formal and has a system, you aren't allowed to only debate things you personally support, there is no interrupting or rude behavior because people actually want to win for their universities. TPUSA stopped going to actual debates like this because they kept getting humiliated on camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngaDNSlCpU

    Bo Seo is Korean and often stammers but they won the world championships twice

    On lemmy it's more like, "I'm now going to call you a genocide supporter."

    What an odd way to project that you like genocide

    This is literally what I'm talking about lmao. You can say fuck Israel, free Palestine, and arrest Netanyahu, but unless you have all that tattooed to your dick some dickhead is going to slide in and call you a genocider.
