    Goes hand in hand with debate bros who try to apply formal debate rules to every conversation.

    Edit: all these responses are too real 😂

    A thing I’ve noticed on the Fediverse is obvious virtue-signaling dog piling with a twist: logic is also a virtue people want to signal. But people are increasingly incapable of genuine reasoning. So they try to ape logic anyway. They go through the motions of what they think reasoning looks like. It’s like watching a 6 year old try to use big words to sound smart. And they get validated for it, because the conclusions they started with align with the social group. It’s painful to see.
