discussion fetishism is built on the outdated and fallacious view that absolute truth can be discovered out of nothing. all arguments are built on assumptions, and productive discussion is only possible when some or all of those assumptions are shared. i will simply never be able to have a productive discussion with someone who does not accept certain things i believe and in many cases attempting to do so only validates disgusting and hateful views.

@dankwraith When there is no shared foundation, the discussion becomes shit-flinging. Which some people enjoy as well!
