I think Republicans are afraid of abortion because deep down they know that the only reason they’re here is because abortion wasn’t easily available. Gotta keep the garbage coming.
Even if you don’t win, pushing back against hatred is always the right thing to do.
Depends: if something did not get any attention - than push back is contra-productive, since it might just create more attention. If something is already getting than pushing back might be helpful in the bigger picture.
There is almost no way to convince people with radical opinions in a written discussion. So the push back is not really useful to challenge the opinion of op but of people less radical or neutral who are also reading the comment. But if the comment did not get any traction, there might be a downside in engaging by getting more attention to the comment. And you don’t know which side of the argument people in the end will chose - so I would just leave it alone. If I’m not in mood for some flaming.

That is an assumption, and not a fact.
Also, pushing back sends a signal to others in the same Society that there are others that believe the same way as they do, and invites them to push back as well. A society self signals to the members inside of it as a method of forming the meta opinions of that Society.
Hatred should always be pushed back against, no matter how effective the pushback ends up being, and regardless of the aggravation/cost of doing so.
Sure, I would love to hear arguments against it. I personalty would prefer if it wasn’t that way.

That is a fair point.

Yeah, like I don’t agree with this at all. Not difficult to for me to think of situations where just let it be is the best and ignore it is the best answer.

I wouldn’t say it’s against a rule, but kinda messed up to imply someone was basically garbage since birth.
Seems like a razor’s edge that they’re walking on.
This kind of rhetoric doesn’t help resolve anything.
Talking on the Internets won’t solve much no matter what you say.
Societies self-monitor the people in them.

It’s not a matter of getting attention or not, it’s a matter of challenging the commenter and their opinion on the subject.
The assumption is that it will get attention since it’s on/in a public forum.

I wasn’t trying to solve anything. You can’t fix stupid.
That much is obvious. ‘Opinion masturbating’ in a public square is a thing, apparently.

It helps identify individuals who don’t care about making the world a better place, via resolving issues.
