The Socratic method is just questioning an argument until the person who presented it realizes its own flaws.
The point is not to "own" someone, but to expose flaws in an argument so a better wisdom can take its place.

The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

What if “positivity” isn’t just a mood, but a constraint on thought? Looking at how enforced optimism flattens disagreement, discourages scrutiny, and quietly narrows what can be said—or even considered. When critique itself starts to feel like a violation, it’s not kindness winning out—it’s inquiry being sidelined.

If we want to build a future that is supremacy-, coercion-, discrimination-, and exploitation-FREE, we must confront the falseness of treating our individual perspectives as universal truth. Liberation requires more than what you believe, it requires collective acknowledgment of what is objectively real.

#Fact : see'st, some [that are corrupt], those, who stand against corruption, that call'eth for goodness and wellness of others, and correcting the mistakes of the past; as some poor people who beg for coinage and near God's door, no less - and are unrealistic, and are, probably, drowning in stupidity.
Those are corrupt to the marrows, and one cannot expect to wait for something good to come out of them.
