one of them is fun, the other is a soul crushing endeavor, FYI.
yeah i understand that the incentives and requirements are different for each.
why go through the effort of becoming informed and substantiating your views intellectually when you can call a guy names and just pretend you are smarter and a better person, and claim he only says things because hes evil or stupid or paid off, without having to put in any work or know what you are talking about.
it'll make you feel better for the small price of civility and intellectual integrity.
Me good, he bad, hehe no need to debate. feels good. dopamine yay. its magic, man.
admitting that you are ignorant? working? no feel so good.
Its a coping mechanism for the inferior, incompetent and unprepared, but its still worth recognizing when it happens IMO.
