Eh, if I was interested in getting upvotes I wouldn't post anything remotely pro-israel on r/worldnews. It will always be an echo-chamber. I feel like my job is just to try to add nuance to the discussion because it feels like a bunch of young people pigeonholing themselves into a super homogeneous worldview. Even if they consider for a second what I'm writing then I feel I've done my job.

It's basically the same here...

A friend of mine asked why I argue at length on the internet, since people usually don't change their opinions by arguing - it's a dead end.

I told him that while I do hope it will drop some sense into the other person, it's actually not really for him but much more for the third-party, that watches and reads.
