Yup. Yeah, I know...

I'm glad you do.

It's a shame we're pinned up against each other.

Like... we got all these people saying... watch out for 1984.

Yet,

they're being it without even thinking to even be insightful. By how they condemn people like you as 'sheep' and rubbish.

It's absolutely futile to try and convince somebody who is unwilling, anyways.

It is the soul's job. The soul sees what it wants to see. Ruthlessly convincing somebody just breeds hostility and opposition.

It's amazing how many fail to see this.

They play right into the game of chess that they preach about.

I'm only in here cuz <#484514023698726912> is full of insincere weirdos. I'd call this #storytelling if I could because that's how finding new knowledge should be.

Like you're being read to rather than picked apart.

'I believe this because this. What do you think? Oh, that's interesting!'

Someone should make a new channel for exactly that.

Debates have their place, but a *willful learning* channel would be great.

Yeah, truly!

No aggression

When I say ANE you say MONE

ANE

We're having a *moment* here!

The only time I really debate is over just basic philosophy. Like how I would call somebody brainwashed for believing the past hasn't been lied about. Not to insult them but as a matter of fact. Though we all slip-up but I try not to say such but sometimes it just has to be said. It's not to insult but to wake somebody up, kinda. Like 'Hey, look outside your reality for a sec.'

I know, that came from nowhere. Pay no matter or natter 💗

I hear what you're saying. I actually really enjoy a good civil debate. I've learned a lot from it and debating flat earth is a genuinely interesting topic that teaches me new things all the time.

Yes, yes, agreed!

Just... if you get me, from the word 'debate', alone...

you already have the potential of the atmosphere quickly becoming inflammatory.

Yeah, I can appreciate that. And it usually does escalate despite my attempts to keep things civil.

Might be the nature of the beast, unfortunately

Because of how basic psychology, many take the definitions of words as the connotation rather than the denotation, so biases cause the atmosphere to spin rather quickly.

Yeah, sadly

You need to have a good mediator, less people and a common consensus among the group or it falters.

Yup, agreed

Plushie, it's been great talking to you! I gotta hit the hay. Stick around and we'll chat later!

Aw, of course! Sleep well, Drew! Thank you! You too. Just notify me and I'll notify you back as soon as I'm available :)

@Drewski4343 @Bird-Finchine (UK, Wales)

You should put loftus in your name

@Abe Lover Why are you just saying random stuff?

@Bird-Finchine (UK, Wales) its genuinely heartwarming to see that people are willing to have a nice conversation here. You are a shining example of what everyone should be doing. You too @Drewski4343

Who do you support, the Republican catholics in Ireland, aka the PIRA or the INLA, or the Loyalist protestants in Northern Ireland, aka the UVF and the UDA

I live in northern Ireland and I support neither

We should have peace
