If you're drawn into arguments that siphon your energy or reduce your peace, simply disengage. You will know when it's good to engage by the feel of the conversation. If it drains you, disengage. If it's a good conversation, it doesn't apply here anyway. I'm only talking about when you feel like your energy is being drained out or you feel like your peace is being destroyed by engaging. If you choose to have the discussion consciously, knowing that the outcome for you will be a reduction of your peace, that's on you - it was your choice and you went into it with open eyes.
I started disengaging a long time ago, and learned something unexpected. It turns out to be a form of revenge. I disengaged with many people during the Coof Spoof for my own sanity. I noticed when you just deal with these people by saying something like, "OK, well if that works for you, then stick with it", how much that upset them. Not a vengeance oriented person, but I must say, their consternation is enjoyable.
What about my tv msn addicted parents that are communists now?
Easier to engage with the other fuckfaces sometimes.

I am like the fonz. Engage, with facts, nothing more. ✔️✔️
I just wanted to say I love your name/profile pic 😊
That's how I stopped watching TV. Realising that getting angry at ads is not so great. Changed my life. ✌️💜
No idea on that - sorry! I think that meme might be as old as the internet! ;)
