What do I mean by “Bad Faith”? My definition of bad faith is that the person you’re speaking with does not believe you are speaking from a place of care but a place of hatred. If you believe the person on the other side of the phone is a Nazi, you would presume they are coming from a place of hatred. It doesn’t matter if they are a Nazi, it only matters what you presume it to be true. Once that person believes the assumption to be true, there is no genuine conversation to be had, only a debate.
Debates are for people who want to posture for a winning position but debates aren’t conversations and they are rarely constructive.
We believe we are having conversations with people, especially over social media, but at best we are engaging in bad faith conversations. Most of our so-called discussions are simply arguments and we have grown too used to talking at people instead of with people. Some of us would rather spend hours virtually shouting at people we will never meet rather than seeking people we can learn from with good faith in mind. One thing you can’t buy is “time”, making it extremely valuable. So, why waste such value on worthless discussions?
Here are some Tips for having a Productive Conversation:

The person that wrote this is obviously a hateful nazi. ;-)
as soon as you realize that the lefturd loon you are talking to is clueless, stuck on stupid, and can’t handle the truth, then it is time to end the conversation
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who wish to destroy this country, created in the incredible bright, free, and individually protective vision of our Founders which is codified in the US Constitution and elegantly framed in the Declaration of Independence, and replace it with a tyrannical vision of government created in the sewers of The Soviet Union, Cuba, Communist China, and Venezuela.
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who are the most racist people in this country, Leftists, who wish to manufacture grievance to pit people against each other.
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who wish to destroy the frameworks of our society, police, medical, infrastructure, and at the same time remove my ability to defend myself and my family with firearms.
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who wish to eat out my substance (which I have worked hard for) though confiscatory taxes, and give that money to people they deem worthy.
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who spied on and unjustly framed (using all the organs of government at their disposal) an opposing political party.
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who subverted, ignored, and outright broke existing election laws under the cover of a pandemic to illegally rig an election.
The people I would speak to from a place of "hatred" are the people who tell me that falsehoods are truths, and truths are falsehoods, knowing full well the difference.
I could go on, but I expect you get the idea. I can find middle ground with people, but not with those people.
I hate the expression “comes/coming from a place of ....” So mealy-mouthed. It is right up there with “I’ll reach out to ...” replacing “I’ll call ...” or “I’ll email ...”
Speak/write directly and to the point, people!
Its easier to trigger them into a rage with memes....
Good advice.
A better edit
Ignore Idiots
I don’t engage with idiots - but I do enjoy enraging them and walking away.
Adjectives. You used them.
I ran out and had to stop.
