      I fail to understand how trying to come to a better understanding through opposed argument works if you reject making arguments, but you do you.

          I mean, I’ve made it clear that I think those have all applied to you thus far, yet I’ve still played my part in the game because I know it’s more useful for onlookers to see the arguments than just dismissing the opportunity. If you truly believe me to be deluded and full of shit, bad-faith, etc, and know you’re on a thread where more people will agree with me than disagree, then the only way your strategy works is if you engage with the arguments and win so thoroughly that they have to be acknowledged.

          In the absence of pushing back against my arguments, all you’ve done thus far is give me a free platform to share my views, and good sources for those who wish to see them.

              Both of us are ideological, whether that ideology be easily labeled or not. The truth is coming out, in my opinion, my point is that it’s better accomplished when both sides engage equally.
