I don’t know, some analogies are better than others. People that just nod along with all of them are just weak-minded yes men. So, I guess it depends on the analogy.
OP posts complaining about all the wellactually’s
Immediately gets wellactually’d

Not my job to agree with people.
You are absolutely right.

People should supply good arguments or admit that they were wrong, not complaining about other people finding their argument inaccurate. That’s of course if they are looking for truth as opposed looking for being right.
Most people can’t handle the truth, so they settle for being right.
Dave Barry summed this up with his last column pretty well:
On the other hand, if I write something that turns out - despite my relentless fact-checking - to be inaccurate, such as that Thomas Jefferson invented the atomic bomb, I will receive dozens of letters, often very irate, correcting me.
It’s easily the worst part of reddit, and wider social media.
If he fact checked it so relentlessly, how can some guy on the internet correct him? Sounds like he didn’t do his due diligence if someone offhandedly knows he’s wrong and has the facts to back it up.
All folks that never do their research believe they are unfairly chastised for not doing their research.
If your point is inaccurate, you should be called on it.
Counter point:
The people who make brand new social media accounts to complain about how people pointed out their old account was wrong should be blocked immediately.
They’ll never say anything worth the 2 seconds it takes to read it
What if that person is Jon Oliver? 🤔

Um, Actually they’re the folks on the stage.
Context matters. If I see a man getting strangled on the street I’m going to call the police or intervene. If I see it on stage during a play I’m going to enjoy the show.
I think just about anyone would agree that the average person on the Internet doesn’t exactly do their homework beyond reading a headline. That common habit lets rumors and misinformation spread like wildfire. It’s important for hot takes to get challenged and questioned to make people think critically rather than making assumptions and walking away misinformed.
