Thats why debate culture doesn’t work. The truth is, the type on the right doesn’t even care if they’re wrong. You could give them a thousand things proving them wrong and they won’t even read them.
You could convince a friend maybe but this requires a huge amount of trust and good faith on both sides.
However, ridicule does work because no one wants to join society’s punching bag. An example of this would include foot binding in China where the upper classes sent their children off to foreign universities who mocked relentlessly for being from the foot binding country. I would recommend the book “the honor code: how moral revolutions happen” for more examples. It’s a fantastic, easily accessible and short modern philosophy book by who I consider to be the greatest living philosopher (Kwame Anthony Appiah).

Can confirm.
No amount of debate stopped Charlie Kirk’s racist spiel and bullshit.
It’s comical how they are “facts over feelings” but would never read a study or consult with someone with actual expertise that isn’t working for a right wing think tank owned by a billionaire.

But one thing did stop him.
There’s some questions science just can’t answer:
What if our kink was kink shaming?
What if the haters dab back?
How did the shooter miss Charlie kirk’s head?
Always ask for consent first though.
They don’t ask first, why extend them the courtesy?
