Well, it's not like you can distinguish one group from the other easily, more often that not people are arguing not to exchange information but because they think they are right and they are on their holy mission to convert everyone.

Nowadays it feels like 90% of discussions are just meaningless, noone will change the opinion, because they do not care about the other person, just forcing their beliefs into someone.
Indeed, it can be tough. The second group has had a lot of time and effort to practice looking like the first. There's an entire group of losers who have all the free time in the world to make other people unhappy. Trying to fight them on their own terms is like trying to fight a pig in a mud-wallowing contest.

That's why empathy is so important, because understanding why someone is having the arguement helps know if it's worth having in the first place.

Always nice to see more of ethics. Now then, about what my eyes stumbled upon:

p. 20 "she's munching" should be 'he', no?

p.27 "...to me." looks like an end of the previous sentence, but feels like it should be the beginning of the next one.

p.22 Saga-kun, and then p.28 it's Sanuki-kun. Which one, then?

Thanks for picking this up again. Pretty relatable chapter. I spent many nights in high school arguing on the internet. Even these days as a generally otherwise reasonable person I still get lured back in to arguing occasionally. There's something too addictive about that feeling of self-righteousness... At least I get proper sleep these days.

I didn't know there were Asian equivalents to Hobbes and Rousseau lol.

Yeah, hope the teacher gets through to him and makes him turn back on his Debate-lord ways…
Nothing good comes out of that.

Thanks for picking this gem up! Hope you guys are able to continue.
