Like it’s all just a ego contest and in the end it doesn’t really matter who’s right and who’s wrong, in the end all that matters is that one or the other will get enough social pressure to make the other one shut up.
In this day and age, people argue over everything from the most basic stuff all the way to the most ridiculous stuff
is that in the comic though or are you projecting your existing opinion on the vague topic of online arguments? does the comic say all arguments are bad? I is discussing the offensiveness of a joke bad? is it bad when to many people argue at once?
doesn’t seem like there’s much of anything deeper than “what’s the deal with airline food?” type material that expects the audience to make the statement in their mind than actually saying anything itself.
Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this…
Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can’t find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.
It’s a way in which one person can create a massive reaction on the Internet. Look, person A trolls person B, but it’s not about person B, the troll is trying to push buttons to try and get a reaction from hundreds, eventually creating person C, whose overreaction and self righteousness will elicit a reaction from persons D through F, who weren’t trolls but can’t help rip on person C.
this doesn’t say anything
This curiously says a lot about our current social sphere.
like what

It is about arguing culture.
what about it?
No it’s not!
Oh yeah? Where is your proof?
That’s not an argument, it’s just contradiction
No it isn’t
If that’s from monty python then you are right. Marvelous piece.
(yes to all three, actually)
I see what you did there
We’ve been over this already.
