My least favourite ones are the devil’s advocate debate perverts that claim to hold progressive values. Let go of the toxicity!
"i hate this group of people" "ok now guys lets give them a chance and hear them out..." I don't get that mentality, like, no? racism is nonsensical, why would I listen to them
I LOVE the term debate perverts
those are an even faster block than the earnest ones.
"I was ostracized for saying horrible fascist and discriminatory things, even when I assured people I was progressive! Why can't the left stop eating their own"
Right? Furthermore, we have easy communication these days. The devil does not need an advocate anymore. Anyone using it outside of a purely academic context just wants to be a prick without consequences
"Let me play devil's advocate..." No. We are not electing a Pope. We don't need devil's advocates.
"Devil's advocate debate perverts", I'm keeping this one
But they're just asking questions! /s
