Why do we waste our time and stress ourselves out arguing on social media and sites like this?

[TruthWillSetYouFreee]

We are not changing anybody's mind so why even do it? It just leads to stress and hatred.

As I already stated, social media puts people together from all over the world.
The more people you bunch up, the more points of view you get. The more different those are, the more arguing you get. For the same reasons, "factions" are formed. Factions are constantly pissed at each other, and the conflict gets sour, categories that change from personal interests to sexual interests to political views to ethnicities and many other differences get at each other throats.
You get modern society, which is sad and pathetic, preaching good and doing extremely bad.

Order out of Chaos it is all on purpose.

This site is not exclusively devoted to those who want to argue. However, I suspect that, for some, arguing is their therapy.

My time is not wasted as I try to improve my English and the people I'm discussing here can never stress me out.

This is the only social media site I go on. And I don't stress whilst I'm here, I enjoy it. If I didn't I would go somewhere else.

Gag is an echo chamber.
If I don't add a few opposing opinions every once in a while to make people think, it will just all be white knight, black supremacist and feminist gibberish.

I just feel like I been arguing for so long and nobody cares about the actual truth anymore.

[Opinion Owner]

That's true, but sometimes the things I say have an impact.
I'll leave gag for a while and when I return I'll notice people using my lines or opinions.
It makes me feel good to know that they learned something from my post.
From my life experiences.
They start doing the work for me.
They start battling the bullshit and injustice here like soldiers.
It can be short lived though.
I understand your perspective that this is a waste of time though.
The internet in general is a very negative thing, that breeds more negativity usually.

[TruthWillSetYouFreee]

I get it you are planting seeds and maybe someone will see it and wake up to the truth.

[Opinion Owner]

It does have an effect, but it's frustrating if some people misinterpret what I'm saying.
They don't understand that I want everybody to be treated fairly.
If I'm putting down a certain race or gender it's in an attempt to balance the scales around here, not to actually dominate them.
I want everybody to get along and be respectful, but sometimes you have to battle a few nasty ones to make sure their bullshit isn't spreading.

I just like getting my opinion out on various issues. I feel like I'm getting things "off my chest" by doing so. And this is the only site I'm currently doing it on. For me it's positive, not stressful

[WhiteWolf69]

I dont waisted a lot of time on any social media sites arguing and stressing myself out. This is the closest to any official social media site that I get close to and that's it.

[FictionalCharacter]
