I'm usually the one who stops responding because I'm a moron

If you start an argument though, and no one responds but instead down vote it, that means arguing with you is dumb and not worth it. This is a tactic I have used many times on users who like to argue too much.

Or.. Arguing with you is a pointless endeavor because you're too stubborn to argue with

But that's none of my business 🐸🍵

If you make the last comment and then block the other person, it will look like you won. Pro tip I discovered after it was recently used against me

If you manage to change the other person's view, it's kind of a win but yeah, having the last word because the other person realized is futile to argue with you is not exactly a win.

Yeah they think they got valid arguments, but all they do is use toddler logic. Or insults. Having the last word in an argument with a genius is hard, but with an idiot it's impossible.

As most of the comments point out, most people stop responding because it’s not worth the pain of responding to some motherfuckers.

Insert an argument below from a topic of your choosing. I will then destroy you with my counter-arguments.

Or you made such a dumb statement that i dont even want to argue with you anymore because you are clearly too dumb to understand what we're arguing about.

You don't win an internet argument by having a great comment as your last word. You win by having the other side make a really stupid comment as their last word.

But if you are having an argument without an audience, you win by figuring out where the other side is coming from and understanding their point of view.

And then when they comment and insta block you so you can't comment back, so that they can have the final word and apear as "winning"...

Lmao, this would be how people see themselves who think “I got the last word so therefore Im right”

If I sat there and argued with every person who was wrong on Reddit, that would be literally all I would do, all day long. Nowadays, I said what I said, and if you don't like it, then that's your fault.

Have you considered that people give up on arguing with strangers online after noticing that they are to uneducated on the matter or to stubborn to listen?

or, they instead reply with an insult or another argument that disregards your prior points entirely, followed by something like "don't reply again" or blocking, as to have the last word or otherwise incentivize you not replying.

I had a 50 message argument with some moron who said there hasn’t been a war since WWII and he kept saying the Ukraine invasion was false and not a real war and made fun of the Mexican cartel war saying it was fake and apparently so was the Russian invasion of Georgia oh and the US didn’t go to the Middle East apparently

he deleted his account

I try to stick to 3 comments per person max. That's enough to consider their point and make any clarification to your original point or make a counterpoint to their point.

Continuing the discussion much further beyond that is in most cases counterproductive. Wish them a nice day and move on. And report and block any users who use pejoratives against you.

Ugh... or if they just copy and paste a bunch of stuff from the internet on a totally different topic from the one you posted on... just post a link and stay on topic. I'm not reading your novel.

Man honestly, there are some people I can tell don’t wana have a conversation. If you wana argue about a topic with me then you’re set in your ways and there is no point in me waisting my time trying to convince you. But if you wana have a conversation we can both sit down and hear each-other out

I typically recieve a low effort insult followed closely by a block. Lucky for them, I have a second account so I can explain to them that blocking someone keeps them from reading their low effort insults.

The meme should be:

“How I feel after the person decided that arguing with me was like talking to a brick wall”.

It's no true victory until the other person deletes their comments out of shame.

Sure, the monuments of your victory stand alone, context incomprehensible to those outside of the argument, deciphered only from clues in the text by the most dedicated. But understanding isn't always needed to show inspiration.

Or your delusional ass after the other person realised that a "discussion" with you is equally as pleasant as hitting your head against a brick wall and left you with your stuck up stupidity.

Yeah. I have Autism. I live with it and as such have first hand experience with it. Someone decided to argue on Reddit about how my explanation of stimming is wrong. I literally do it when I’m bored or anxious as do others on the spectrum and stimming varies from person to person and you can redirect unhealthy stimming (stuff that hurts you or is unpleasant for others) gradually by changing to a more healthy stimming. For example I used to bite my nails and lips but I’ve redirected to just rubbing my index and middle fingers together. My therapist helped me with this. Yet somehow the fact that I’ve lived through it and a medical professional helped me with it makes my explanation inherently wrong somehow?

I left it alone after that and no doubt they felt superior in that regard.
