What he is doing is called gish gallop and has soured all forms of debate in America. Its... textbook. You just give out so many arguments, no matter the merit, that it's a complete slog to counter each of them. Where it falls flat is if you press them on one fucking thing, doesn't even have to be about the shit they listed and you can easily win any argument with these ass hats.
It's funny, cause when you do press them and they see their bullshit isn't working they go, "no fair." Pricks, all of em.
They say that you shouldn't argue with idiots because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
It's a skill issue, I think too many erudite people refuse to appropriately educate themselves in the ways of the disingenuous, ignorant, and uneducated because those things are incongruent with truth and knowledge.
They lack the understanding that you need to practice arguing with idiots to get better at arguing with idiots; so they never develop the skills to be pointedly obtuse, belligerent and mean in an effective manner to shut down and wind out other belligerent people. Subsequently they lack the knowledge on how to fight back against wilfully ignorant or disingenuous speech.
For a nerdy analogy I'm the grey jedi of argumentation.
They literally did the pigeon shitting on a chess board and trotting around like they won bit too... said "take the L" and everything after an exhausting explanation about how they're being intentionally dense and refusing to acknowledge context.
Typical...
Not sure it's the same person, but I responded to them if you want some more entertainment. Let the master class continue.
