“I don’t mean to be devil’s advocate”
is usually code for “I’m about to say something that’s going to make me look like a total asshole because I genuinely don’t give a shit about your feelings, but I want to say this really bad so I’m going to say I’m playing ‘devil’s advocate’ because that’s my free pass to say what I’m about to say.”
Pretty much.
And then we can’t be friends because super ick.
or maybe it means ‘i fundamentally agree with what you are saying, but i’d like to you expand your horizons and understand other people’s points of view so let me reiterate a point of view i don’t myself believe in’
just a thought
