I’m posting this here because twitter is a social disagreement platform and I don’t care for that.

Anyway this guy debated Piers Morgan, dribbled him a bit, and then posted this: 

As a normal, well adjusted person I recognise this is a lame thing to brag about, but as an ex-debater this 100% worked on me.

Ingroup cringe/ ingroup admiration? Something like that.

I think it’s like any niche thing I think
The only people you impress are those who bought in already 
The rest are… less impressed, if the replies to that tweet are any indication

I don’t think debate bro’s have improved the public opinion either.
Imo the diff between a debate and an argument is in the structure 

THR mainstream debate setups

hahaha 
so true 
so many debators 
are in the closet rn
yearning to come out 
online and off 
affirmatively and 
negativily 

there should be a 
debate pride movement 

don’t hate debate 
don’t hate, debate

He did what all of us are too scared to do: talk about debate on main.
