this is answered in the video
I watched it but I didn’t find the reasons compelling. That it’s difficult or possibly stressful doesn’t really interact with the reasons I have for doing it.
Maybe you can elaborate on what you mean and how you think the video addresses this?
"It takes longer to disprove one than make it."
if you spend time disproving their comments, they will simply make more because if you are wasting your time disproving them then you aren't working on building social structures to resist them. It is gifting them power.
I will now block you so I can focus on productive discussions.
Weird spin. It looked like a productive and friendly conversation -- and they even bothered to watch the video! Do you block everyone that challenges anything you say? That's not blocking fascism, that's backing yourself into a carefully curated echo chamber.
I don't.
