Yes, you have described the concept of a troll, well done.

Honytawk ,

Yeah, that really doesn’t make you look good in any sort of way with anybody except yourself maybe.

It really isn’t hard to admit your mistake and move on.

Only losers can’t do that.

Sordid ,

That’s what this meme about ‘sigmaposting’ is poking fun at. The sigma wolf is supposed to be the lone wolf who doesn’t need nor care about anybody else, and for some reason some people look up to that as an ideal to pursue. But wolves are social animals, so in reality the lone wolf is a failing loser.

Does anyone have the copypasta from /r/chapotraphouse that was a Nazi complaining about how we were all psychopaths because he tried to concern troll debate us and we just kept telling him to post hog?

Good times.

Was it that long ago? Pretty much that same thing happened, like, earlier today. debatebro-l

Tankiedesantski ,

I found the post I was thinking about. It was a /pol/ Nazi and funnier than I remembered.

CW: censored slurs.

I thought their entire mythos was that nothing offended them and that they were the bleeding edge of the internet. pathetic

Nazis and not living up to their own mythos - name a more iconic duo.

It’s an ironic glorification of things idiots do to be “sigma” (like arguing just to win even when they realize they’re wrong) but just makes them unpleasant combined with a self-awareness that we all do this shit from time to time

Ah it makes sense now. Google wasn’t terribly helpful. Thanks for explaining!

All while complaining it’s just like Reddit, and they thought it would be different.

This is basically the alt-right approach to debate. They don’t care about being right, they just want to own the libs.

Iusedtobeanadventurer ,

This.

I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen “tank man” incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn’t share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.

When I said “the incident did happen and there’s photographic evidence” she told me "Google it there’s no photo "

Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There’s more than one, actually.

I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument “that photo is known to be staged.”

It sounds like they got a bit confused. Tank man is real, but I’m reasonably sure he was not actually crushed by the tank which was the lie we were all told by our textbooks growing up, to bolster the “China bad” position held by the Western world.

gmtom ,

I’ve never seen it claimed he was cruched by the tanks?

I’ve seen it claimed the bodies of the student protestors were run over by the tanks repeatedly until they were mush and there is photos to support this.

But the story of tank man was that he stood in front of the tanks and they tried to go around him, but he moved in front of them again.

Also fuck off tankie

devils_advocate ,

One inaccuracy in a historical report allows detractors to call the whole thing a lie.

InputZero ,

I can’t think of it off the top of my head but I’m certain something like The Simpsons or Family Guy used it as a joke where they did get run over. I don’t think it’s claimed anywhere but it did become part of the story for some people. I can easily see how someone who doesn’t quite understand the situation, but is also sceptical to truth would think that.

Take someone who assumes he was run over, tell them ‘well actually he wasn’t, the perspective of the picture makes it look like he’s about to be.’ and some of those people will jump to the conclusion it was fake. Especially in the past 40 (?) Years where a lot of people get their history from TV.

Iusedtobeanadventurer ,

I think you’re right and she was confused but that sort of illustrates the point. If someone is arguing a fallacy that is easily proven a fallacy then it indicates to me that they are generally going to be an unreliable source of information.

This is on point, the number of debates in good faith on the Internet are… Not common

I’m just trying to fuck around on the internet. People don’t have to get so worked up about everything.

I was unaware of this even being a thing.

I don’t think it’s an accident. It’s an attempt to fool repost detectors.
