If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

    Block and move on. Not everyone has to have same opinion as you in a forum.

      I’m not upset about someone not having the same opinion as me. But…

      • being upset about how white people are treated
      • being so pro israel that you’re blinded to the plight ofthe palestinians
      • getting upset when someone includes LGBTQ in oppressed people

      I don’t think those are just different opinions. Maybe i’m wrong.

        Agreed, those are bad things. Just making a point that not all MAGA or conservatives believe those things. And if you are online, you’re not going to change their mind. So better just block and move on.

        You are totally free to fight it, but it won’t get you anywhere.
