1.) Do background research on your opponents’ position by finding lots of memes that reinforce your worldview.
I remember doing this.
2.) Set your Caps Lock key to ATTACK.
Pretty cringe but to each their own.
3.) Start off by comparing them to mass murderers, preferably Hitler.
I remember doing this and remember other people doing this. I don't think I do this anymore.
4.) Brutalize your opponent, then when they hit back, claim you’re a protected, marginalized class and therefore immune to criticism.
Pretty cringe if you ask me but this is an easy of pretty much winning any argument just with optics. Basically discussing the n-word with a black guy.
5.) Hold your enemies to the most stringent moral standard while you yourself sling insults like a middle schooler.
I think this is pretty shitty. I don't think I have done this since I am pretty much clear with what I say but others well. It is for you to decide.
6.) Keep in view your real goal: grandstanding to get lots of likes on your replies, not to seriously engage your ideological foes’ worldviews
Wish I had that attitude. It would be so fun to say I am better than you.
7.) Finally, hit ’em with a condescending GIF.
This has got to be a niche one. Not cool random site on the internet.

I have problems telling whether or not people are being serious.

I am guessing it is but very realistic. Only 2 and 5 need to be removed to be comparable to actual internet dialogue.
