I just generally can’t stand it when people refuse to admit that they understand you point of view. Like. It doesn’t mean you agree, it just means I’ve stated my case deftly. I don’t even need people to agree with me. Unless its social justice or humanitarian issues, but I’ve learned to just tap out if the person is clearly just gonna be gross about it.
Oh totally! There’s nothing more irritating that someone who doesn’t know how to concede a point. Seriously, how hard is it to say “I see where you’re coming from and I understand, I just don’t agree”? It doesn’t mean that you’re admitting defeat or anything like that, just that you get it. But of course there are folks who would prefer to move the goal posts instead when they know you’ve got them.
And ditto on the social justice and humanitarian issues. Sometimes it can be useful to challenge people but there’s no point in wasting breath and time when you know you’re not gonna change their minds.
Like, there’s a huge difference between debating things like tv shows or movies or whatever and having discussions about social justice. Like, when it comes to human rights there really is no debate, just realities that people don’t want to face. Like, it’s one thing to debate the ways to lessen police brutality, for example, but it’s a whole different thing to have to convince a person that police brutality is even an issue in the first place when they don’t want to even admit that it exists.
