Why meme them them until they cry and then make memes of them crying if we know the value of the maxim “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still”?
Because, as Arthur Schopenhauer said (paraphrasing): “In public debate, the goal is not to persuade your opponent, but to make him appear weak and flustered and ill-prepared and emotional to your audience. People would rather be wrong than look wrong. In public debate, your target is not the person you’re debating, but the people watching your debate. They should want to agree with you just to avoid feeling the public shame you made your opponent feel.”
Anons, if you want to win friends and influence individuals look to Dale Carnegie. If you want to influence the masses, look to Schopenhauer…and Trump.
