No one wins arguments on the internet. There's too many people that only use fallacies but have no idea that's what they're doing. It's a black hole.

It's not even about fallacies, most people don't want to change their opinions, they just want to be right. They don't care about having a discussion or learning. They're more interested in fighting and intellectual browbeating than they are opening up to the possibility that they might be wrong or being empathetic and not shaming people over being wrong.
