That’s fucking idiotic. It’s basically formalizing the whole “Whoever talks loudest and proudest wins” instead of “Whoever has the most valid and factual argument wins”

It’s unfortunately just how things work. Facts only matter to people who care about the truth, and a lot of people don’t.

that’s because neurotypicals don’t actually care about logic and data, they only care about your seeming proud and self-confident because that makes you appear as a might-be feudal lord in their eyes and they love that shit.

Yup, we all go through the shock you’re experiencing, but if you want to influence people who are hostile to your position you need to learn debate and rhetoric. And it’s not about who’s loudest but who’s most convincing. And for opinions that facts and logic didn’t get you into, facts and logic (alone) won’t get you out of. You need to speak to people’s emotions.
