Reply to comment by DueAdhesiveness1229 in LPT: A psychology trick to make people sound stupid when having a terrible opinion is to say “I agree/used to agree but ____” which will either make them look more stupid or will make them feel stupid. by AlexTI66881
“Yeah you sure are, but you do realize that/how ________, right? That’s just my point though, so let me hear your point on my criticism”
Thanks for sharing, but not all arguments have that comeback without making you sound like a terrible/stupid person. You can say the same for me but I can give my point and arguments if you wish. The comeback on top is good because there’s implied sarcasm, you give your information, and you encourage the other party to give a comeback to your counterclaim.

Great idea. You gave me another tip on what to say
“Thanks for sharing that” can cause temporary acceptance. You aren’t saying they’re wrong, which is what they want, but at the same time, give them information to process that can settle an argument quickly and easily
This argument itself is a great example because I actually learned something as well, and it encourages thinking. Without the “I agree”, arguments like “you’re stupid/stubborn” and then your claim sound terrible
They will have fewer good comebacks to use but the way you can fuck up someones emotions with a few words is stupid

I agree. My post was a little bit aggressive from all the wording. I would say that making someone feel stupid can be useful for changing someones mind or to settle an argument faster. Think about it.
It makes you look like you’re not stubborn to your argument, makes people accomplish their goal of influencing someones mind, and can make an argument less intense because you seem open minded

I agree but you did sound a bit aggressive when saying that
