@kissane I think part of it is a tendency to increase the stakes/contrast between you and your opponent while repeating your strongest arguments that happens during a disagreement.

You’ve explained yourself but your opponent Doesn’t Get It which means they are just dismissing the consequences so you’ve got to make them clearer to them.

It’s a bad habit and I know I do it, too, as well as jumping into a new conversation already at that higher level. That’s when you need to walk away.
