In 2019, I was all over Twitter fighting about moon landing hoaxes lol. It took me a year to see that nobody ever changed their mind from my arguments. Now I just ask questions and let people talk themselves out. You learn way more about why they believe what they do when you listen. It saves so much mental energy, and sometimes they even doubt their own stuff after hearing it out loud. Honestly, stepping back was the best move for my sanity.

Yeah, LISTENING lets people see their own flaws without feeling attacked, which is WAY more powerful.

Waste less time arguing honestly, most conspiracies are just WEIRD hobbies people get too into. @blake_lewis has it right just letting folks talk until they hear how silly it sounds.
