+    Do you have that annoying uncle who is correct about everything no matter
+    how bluntly stupid the things he says is? Do you have the pleasure of
+    having a bunch of debate bros in your online community? Today I shall teach
+    you their tactics so you can be just as annoying, inpatient, and lacking
+    nuance as them.

+  <h2>The simplest argument is the correct one</h2>
+  <p>
+    Brains are difficult to use. When your busy being correct about things
+    there is no time to use your brain so it's important your arguments are the
+    simplest. Evolution takes a while to explain but saying God created
+    everything is quite quick and easy. <b>Remember: being correct is a
+    competition not a scientific journey.</b> The simpler your argument is the
+    less attack surface it has. The complex argument even if solid has a lot
+    more theoretical bugs which can accumulate more negative points than a
+    simple argument even if that simply argument itself is easily
+    disproved. Making sure your argument is simple is the most important part
+    of debate.

+  <h2>Serve it on a silver platter</h2>
+  <p>
+    Have you ever been to those fancy restaurants with high prices. You almost
+    die looking at the prices and wait a fucking long time only for the food to
+    turn out to be cheap shit! Luckily your uncle with the dumb debate tactics
+    is paying (: Anyways the point is you can put a piece of shit on a silver
+    platter and now it's somehow worth more. Do the same with your
+    arguments. Dress nice and speak with confidence. You can go on TV dressed
+    nice and act confident and someone will believe whatever you have to say
+    no matter how stupid. You can even say shit like Emo invented the computer,
+    washing your hands is bad for your health, sticking rocks up your asshole
+    will cure your cancer... and someone out there will believe you if it's
+    served on a silver platter.

+
+  <h2><i>Facts are facts</i></h2>
+  <p>
+    Facts exist in a isolated state of constantly being true. Facts by
+    definition can't be wrong which means reality as we know it often has to be
+    bent around facts instead of deleting them. No one quite knows where they
+    come from. The same list of facts been around as far as we know since the
+    beginning of time. <i>Boys have short hair and girls have long hair is just
+    a fact.</i> Sure, boys can have long hair if they don't cut it but facts
+    are facts so they must keep cutting it because hair can be changed but
+    facts can't. Facts are a powerful tool in argument because to remain a good
+    upholder of societal and cultural norms you are required to modify the
+    world around you to fit facts instead of the other way around. If your
+    enemy does not engage in this than you win the moral high ground which is
+    often just as powerful if not more than winning the actual argument.
+  </p>
+
+  <h2>Putting words in others mouths</h2>
+  <p>
+    The person your arguing is not saying the thing which they are saying. They
+    are saying the thing you say they are saying. <i>If they say something
+    against Trump than they are a Democrat ass kisser who voted for Biden and
+    hates America.</i> Stereotype them! You aren't here to listen your here to
+    win! <i>They like Taylor Swift's music? They must like her as a person and
+    be in support of private jets polluting the earth! They are a leftist? They
+    must like government handouts and think welfare will solve everything! They
+    like guns? They must be inbred and white trash!</i> Your enemy is who you
+    say they are, not what they are.
+  </p>
+
+  <h2>Open mindedness</h2>
+  <p>
+    If someone doesn't believe you they simply aren't open minded. A open
+    minded person would clearly see you are correct and switch because you
+    can't be wrong. Open mindedness is when someone believes you. It's not when
+    someone looks at the given information and picks one way or another. If
+    they actually looked at what you said they would be one of your kind
+    now. <i>Not listening to what the other person is saying and push words in
+    their mouth? I don't do that it's the person I am arguing who does
+    that.</i>
