Some distant mountain in North-Eastern Turkey, above the clouds obscuring the Black Sea. Taken with maximum ISO on an ancient DSLR, which adds a bit of grain and spooky artifacting that I dig.

That’s obviously wrong. I don’t need to read Mein Kampf to know that nazism is a bad idea. Sure, it helps, but it’s not necessary.
Similarly, I don’t need to read the entire corpus of christian theology to understand that the bible is mostly fiction and that christofascists are wrong and awful people (don’t get me wrong, those are two separate facts - I don’t think all christians are awful).
Yes, there were a few times I have managed to convince someone on here, even on “political” topics. Not so much on Reddit.
Plenty of times I’ve been convinced that I was wrong about important things as well, which I always try to own.
I wouldn’t say there’s definitive “winning” or “losing” an online argument. This is a public forum, your arguments are there for everyone to see, even if the person you’re talking to still disagrees by the end it may help someone else form a more informed opinion.
