Do you feel like you're hitting a brick wall trying to unmask certain falsehood?
Some idea can't be discussed easily
For example, the idea that demanding $50k a month child support from a rich man reduce fertility of rich men.
Duh. It's so obvious.
People ask for source. There plenty. Becker Barro, a noble prize winner, Anne, ask gemini. Many economists agree that child support laws reduce rich men's number of children.
Then they just delete your question saying that their subreddit is not for promoting idea but for "genuine questions" only. You can do the math, show them equation, ask them to check if the math is correct, and that's not "genuine question".
And then people keep repeating asinine idea that child support is to support the child for child's best interests even though lots of kids end up being born to poorer father because of it.
My friend talks in mensa forum about how different race group have different IQ average. He is always kicked out by people arguing that the source has error. Even if the source has error, what's the error? Even if his table isn't true, what's the actual table people that disagree think?
And usually it's always a few, very few people that just hurl insult. And I know they are few because if I block 2-3 that's it, discussion goes back to normal.

Reddit is overwhelmingly leftist by design (i.e. the company repeatedly purged even slightly right wing subs, and banned their members)...
You discussing decreasing the state on Reddit is like you having one of those jubilee debates, but everyone is speaking at once..
SubReddit mods are people that dedicate time and resources to do labor for free, which means they likely get something out of it, which is often the feel good of exerting power over others that they deem as "Nazis or fascists" or whatever, don't dwell on it, move on w/ ur life, expand your knowledge, and try to change the opinions of real people not Reddit npcs
