    Unwilling to have discussion indicates you’re afraid you might be wrong about things and discussion may bring that to light.

    People who have thought through their positions aren’t afraid to discuss them. I could be wrong about some things, but if that’s the case then and a discussion brings that out, I can change my position, and then I hold stronger positions on issues.

    Propagandists that are just repeating slogans are afraid to discuss the topics they supposedly care about passionately. If discussions bring to light their slogans are wrong, then that decreases their standing within their movement which is just a tribal group. The goal of the propagandist isn’t to further a cause it’s only to show loyalty to the tribe and increase their standing.

    So go ahead and throw insults at me to prove your loyalty to the tribe. It only proves you’re incapable of growing your movement because you’re incapable of having a rational discussion. If you’re constantly promoting feelings of hatred to impress the political group you’re in, consider the possibility that you might be in a hate group.

      No, it means there’s nothing to argue in good faith with zionazis. Heard of the Nazi bar problem?

        Yes lemmy indeed has a bit of a Nazi bar problem, with all the antisemitism that gets posted here unchallenged.
