It's amazing how much discourse is just people pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.

Asinine means "utterly silly or stupid" and "ass-like".

You can't separate criticizing the person making an argument from criticism of the argument when using a charged put down like 'asinine'.

I have made reasoned arguments, nowhere near asinine tier. If you want to appeal to authority/experts or cite lefty prop, okay I guess. Otherwise, I've heard it all and done the research. I've lived too long and watched decades of doomer predictions fail. It's exhausting! Be tired with me, collapse! :)

Finally, I never want you to shut up, I just want the grift you prefer (or at least tolerate) to end. The best I can offer you is political exile to the wasteland of failed ideas forever. ;)
