Honestly, to be fair, I know nothing about the guy in the thread, so it wouldn't be fair to single him out. In response to a generally willfully ignorant individual, though, it is the willful part that just grinds my gears.

I worked with a group of guys in the tech industry during the Rona; individuals who generally tend to be really smart. These guys would feed off anything the MSM would feed them and attempt to mathematically prove how severe the disease was with the fictitious numbers they received, simply because they refused to question the original sources or think for themselves.

Lately, anytime I debunk or deconstruct ignorant claims the counter party essentially refuses any level of continuance for our discussion, and states, "We'll just have to agree to disagree."

A week later I heard them lean on the very same deconstructed argument when they were talking with someone else. Almost like our previous conversations have never happened. When I bring it up they get visibly angry.

Just touched a nerve, I suppose.
