For what it’s worth, I stopped reading after this, so the rest was a waste of time on your part, and a possible opportunity for interesting conversation was missed. After I left reddit years ago, I just learned to stop engaging when people have shown this kind of unnecessarily adversarial attitude instead of just accepting another person might understand your position while disagreeing with it. It just doesn’t accomplish anything.
Just a suggestion, but if you want people to engage with you and not just a mindless Monty Python-esque argument, this isn’t the way to do it. You’d be served by some good faith assumptions of the people you talk to.
