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.
<br /><br />

Neat video on the topic
</a>
</p>
<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.
</p>
<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.
</p>
<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>
