It sole purpose is to belittle and dismiss the person you are talking to.
It tells the person that they are obviously unable to understand because of some unrelated trait. It’s an ad-hominim that just shuts down the conversation.
It’s only used by people that cannot actually defend their position, but rather than continue to discuss it, they would rather just shut out the other person.
It’s them telling the other person “you are less than me which is why you are wrong, and you must simply accept that because you cannot possibly understand how I am right.”
I hate that phrase so much.
