13405356, People who tell you their resume when arguing
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Sep-28-20 09:52 AM
that shit never works.

Know someone who has spent the last half year on FB arguing with old classmates about BLM and racism.

We keep telling her these uneducated bigots don’t give a shit about our degrees and accomplishments.
13405359, It implies that you can't (or don't want to) make a convincing argument

And you are hoping your qualifications can be a substitute.

It's pretty wack.
13405382, it doesn't, but you wouldn't know that.

13405384, Ehh not really. if you're experienced in the field you're arguing about

it should be stated so mofos know whats up.
13405364, It's the nature of current "discourse"

because people can't argue without calling the other person an idiot or "low I.Q." or some shit like that.

So to rebut that, your resume becomes an easy proxy. But the reality is, the person you're arguing with just doesn't care, nor does anybody else. We're just entrenched in a culture war at this point and I don't think it'll end peacefully.
13405366, Half these folks scoff at universities and education

it’s “indoctrination” so they aren’t trying to hear facts and figures.
