Maybe years ago I would've said it's worth it to debate these idiots if you can convince even one person but now I'm like fuck that. What did debating climate change get us? I feel like it just helped the idiots spread their dumb and dangerous ideas. If you've seen those trending videos that are titled "Ben Shapiro destroys liberal" you know it just ends up helping them spread their bullshit in the end.

it sounds very hopeless but i think we can find alternative ways to spread important information without needing to bicker with conspiracy theorists

It's always been pointless since 1. You don't debate facts, especially not when one party is ignorant of the facts and 2. Debate is not how you convey information. Debate is about being a persuasive (or loud and annoying) speaker. These cranks just want a platform to spread their lies.
