Disagreement is a way to promote dialog.
No it isnt
on what planet do you exist on where everybody is 200% aligned lol
north korea?
Only if you are a tankie?
Do i need a /s ?
No sir!
I agree
Sources?
/s
Wrong.
It’s also a way to manufacture dissent and foster division.
Is it though? According to the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, conflict is a sign of a trusting team, and conflict is a necessity for that team to achieve commitment.
I can attempt to explain how it it’s unclear
This graphic is from the book:
Great, except teams still need consensus, otherwise they’re more of a mob.
Tell me anyone on the left trusts anyone period.
Devils advocate is very much in my nature but not so much when things are being done so obviously badly. Its great when discussions are more philisophical in nature.
This post feels like bait
Dude your mom feels like bait
I have a reddit coworker, he just disagrees and follows up with “fucking retard” while being blatantly wrong…i hope they fire the guy soon.
Unmanageable human being, impossible to learn anything to keep him from killing himself (my job is technically life threatening, if you’re too stupid to listen)
He also mamaged to call in sick for 2 weeks in his first 4 weeks of employment, i was surprised when they kept him on after that.
i was surprised when they kept him on after that.
Clearly did not learn anything from The Office Space. that’s management material and your future boss
I fear for it, honestly.
Luckily i’m already planning to leave. I haven’t found a good job within reach yet, it’ll come haha.

No u.
Yes some people love to argue. I get it, I think arguing with others is fun. It’s not so great online tho. It’s empty and soul-less.
Playing Devil’s Advocate. has been around way before the internet.
This is one of those stupid articles that are like “water is wet says a new study” and far more people than it should be say “holy fuck it’s wet when I wash things. It must mean I wash things with water. Omgomgomgomg!!”
No shit users are trolls on reddit.
I just call it out immediately and shut people down. I spend countless hours researching and reading and I don’t have time for devil’s advocates anymore. Here on Lemmy I will just block them and in real life I just tell them homie I don’t play that.
Some people while cleaning a table just love to scratch it a bit. Why not leave that fossilized fat stain alone.
Same vibes. There’s no use in agreeing. You are just adding to a clueless crowd.
Disagreeing helps everyone.
Thanks AI… Using tremendous amounts of energy and technology to tell us something that anyone paying attention would have already known
It’s called a dialectic.
Omg no it isn’t!
This is literally the point, there is a clear difference between a hegelian dialectic and brute-force manichaeanism.
Social media has allowed us to perceive the one as the other.
Now everybody thinks they’re the only righteous ones and anyone who deviates from their strict
opiniondogma is evil.I dropped this /s
My bad, post-sarcastic world.
In other news, water is wet.
No it’s not. You are.
I’ve been online since 1995. And back in those days, about the worst argument people had was Star Wars vs Star Trek. That’s because the general online population at that time valued fact-based discussion and proper sources. Not like today, where someone’s feelings seem to trump actual fact.
If I post 1+1=2 with proper sources, some idiot is bound to come along to argue that 1+1=tomato soup, that the moon is made of aged brie and that 5G on phones is turning frogs gay. It’s exhausting.
There’s simply too many blithering idiots online who reject facts. And unfortunately instead of blocking them, people engage. Thus giving them incentive to keep doing it.
Disclaimer, nostalgia glasses may color experiences in a slightly more positive light than it really was.
