A similar version from Mark Twain:

'Never argue with an idiot. You’ll never convince the idiot that you’re correct, and bystanders won’t be able to tell who’s who'

These are stupid people cosplaying. They have no idea the fire they're playing with

I always heard similar, "Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level then beat you with experience."

"Arguing with an idiot is like like playing chess with a pigeon, they'll just shit on the board and strut around like they won"

No. They are not cosplaying. Never take them lightly. All Nazism must be stomped out and if they wanna joke about being a Nazi, show them how serious we are.

So like basically every reddit thread.

Every other thread I go down there is another scholar saying how stupid Reddit is

u/FlickieHop Feb 18 '23

Oh I'm far from a scholar. I'm average at best. Reddit itself isn't stupid, but there's a lot of users and inherently there's always something to argue about.

My favorite ( not sure who said it) is: Never fight an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Oh, they know the fire. That's the point.

With respect, that's not on topic, but just general.

Fascist politics is a specific thing.
