Sometimes, when there is conflict, it helps to ask questions to better understand people. In furtherance of that shared understanding, here are some questions you were asked:

> Are Epstein and his associates pedophiles? [0]

> Are minorities allowed to exercise the second amendment rights the right champions for themselves? [1]

> Is it unfair to call someone cosplaying for a social media account that regularly posts repurposed Nazi slogans a Nazi? [2]

0: Only 6% of americans are satisfied with the administration's handling of the epstein affair - https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/18/politics/epstein-files-cnn-po...

1: Only 20% of americans believe there should or should not be a law that would ban the possession of handguns, except by the police and other authorized persons - https://news.gallup.com/poll/1645/guns.aspx

2: Only 23% of americans believe Hitler was a "good person or an equally good and bad person" or "a bad person who did some good things" - https://www.newsweek.com/hitler-had-some-good-ideas-american...

Sometimes, it is crucial to differentiate a wall of loaded premises from an actual question before you move on to quoting a survey about whether Americans like Hitler.

It seems you might seek a back-and-forth argument where you simply talk past your interlocutor. In my experience, that doesn't lead to understanding. Are you sure you don't want to seek understanding?

We're in a polarized environment, and understanding is the best way to get past that, whereas dismissing* people with which you disagree tends to increase it.

* – from you in this thread so far: dismissing questions as "loaded"; dismissing 3 questions across 3 lines as "a wall"; dismissing differing opinions as "propaganda"; dismissing differing opinions as "extremist"; dismissing differing opinions as "far left"; dismissing differing opinions as "yapping"; dismissing differing opinions as "unreasonable"; etc.
