"I used to advocate listening to and engaging with the other side of the debate - so one could understand their viewpoint and reinforce one’s own argument or even reevaluate it. I’m starting to think that’s redundant. There is no argument, and there is no viewpoint. It’s beyond the point of indefensible."

This. I can't see the "other side of the debate" anymore when it comes to genocide. You either aren't a sociopath who enjoys watching innocent civilians get murdered, or you're a sane and moral individual who wants a permanent peace. There really isn't anything to argue or re-evaluate, IMO. The sociopaths are clearly in the wrong and need to be locked up for everyone's safety. But it's the sane folks who seem to get most of the grief online as you show in your example dialogue.

Thank you for your sharing your thoughts. Let's try to keep each other sane!
