"Debate me bro! Stop being such a debatebro about it though, debate me, I'm just asking questions, why are you scared to respond? Why are you afraid of the truth? Stop being such a debatebro nazi and answer my questions! You're coping and seething! Debate me! Give me the attention I crave!"
It's brutal and effective. Doesn't shut them up, but leaves them floundering, they always have the same canned "I'm not a debate pervert, I'm just asking questions!" response. Every time.
I have learned the secret art of not giving a shit about engaging with people
It works at the mall for those folks at the kiosks, it works with Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, and it works with the chuds at stores who are mad that I still wear a mask everywhere
I find that looking like a homeless person is enough to get everyone to leave you alone. If you don't look like you have any money, they won't bother you.
