Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.

For a healthy diet make sure to only eat reasoned rebuttals sparingly. You should get most of your nutrition from name calling. /s

Each level of argument has a purpose. Know your audience and use whatever is most effective. You’re not going to get anywhere calling a doctor a poopyhead just as you won’t accomplish anything by presenting facts to a conspiracy theorist.

Your audience will be most effectively convinced by logic, emotion, or authority. It should be pretty simple to figure out which one to use.

In some contexts arguing is synonymous with conflict.

When I argue in a public forum my goal is directed more to third parties than to an individual who may not be acting in good faith.

Why does that person need to have an actual account on Threads?

They don’t. They just use their existing Instagram account.

It’s literally the same account you already have.

Yeah pronouns can get really messy. I try to avoid them as much as I can in technical writing so I can follow my own sentences lol.

I find it most inconvenient when “they” is used to refer to one person and a group in the same paragraph.

I meant oppose in the theological sense. Religious extremists are given legitimacy by religious moderates. (I live in a Christian majority region)

I’m not a Catholic, so I don’t consider bad deeds to be ok so ling as you do a few good.

Those layers get in the way of casual browsing. Like you could use a bucket to fill a full size swimming pool, but a hose is better suitrd for the job.

The use case for TOR is illegal activity. Some illegal activity is not immoral, like organising a protest against a dictatorship. But Tor is not a useful tool for simply browsing websites. The inconvenience isn’t worth it when a regular browser fulfills your needs better.

It’s like money laundering. It could be done recreationally, but that’s not the normal use case.
