    You can’t have a debate with a fake person. A debate is an attempt to clarify the truth and have both sides accept a common truth.

    All you can do with fake people are argue with them. In an argument there are no facts, there is only dominance. The argument is to determine who is in control and that is the only relevant fact.

    Attempting to talk to these fake people using the truth never works for the exact reasons Sartre detested his own fake people of the time; the very fact that you try to use the truth and be reasonable is proof that you are not in control and may be manipulated or injured as the fake one wishes.

    The best thing to do is isolate the predators and force them to feed upon one another.

      Amen. You can’t argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
