Seriously had to defend my gripes against the jab mandate in LA against 3 libs. First things first. Im not human according to them. 2nd, my sources are invalid because its not msnbc. 3rd i deserve to die according to them (and theyre supposedly my friends). 4th im a murderer because i refuse to get this vaccine. And 5th i dont deserve freedom because i wont do what dafdy gov tells me. How the fuck do you guys defend against 3 liberals 2 yelling at you and 1 (allegedly) moderating. Fucking hell!

I did it 1 v 7 last night at a restaurant.
First don't argue the facts they "think" are impenetrable. I listened to their thoughts and then realised how they make up their minds. Emotion, great, that I can work with. First I come out quite forceful not aggressive but upset / mad and frustrated.
I then made them aware that for the first time in in like 50 years extreme poverty has risen and risen a lot since the start of covid 125million more people are now in extreme poverty and it rising fast. About 10000 children CHILDREN are dying a day. Then I turn it on them I say a people don't give a shit because of a 0.002 chance they might die. More people by an order of magnitude great have and will die than compared to covid. If they really cared about saving lives they would take the risk and open up the world to start getting aid, food and help back to these places around the world.
There was a lot more convo but this shut down all their self righteous we are helping the world bullshit.
Wish I would have thought of this one. They did hit me with emotional shit immediately. Now I'm the devil. It's okay though. I've lost plenty of friends during my awakening. Soon I'll have nothing left. That's when I will really break. The most dangerous creation of any society is a man with nothing left to lose.
This is called a rhetorical appeal to emotion or pathos. The rhetorical triangle consists of Logos (appeal to logic), Ethos (appeal to authority / credibility), and Pathos (appeal to emotion).
Generally an appeal to emotion is considered to be the strongest type of appeal and an appeal to logic is the weakest when attempting to persuade average persons.
I personally am most persuaded by logic and least persuaded by emotion.
You should generally attempt to appeal to all three when forming arguments before a group of people with a bias towards emotional appeals.
If you find this interesting I suggest doing further reading on the topic of "rhetoric."
