It’s so pitiful how ideologues (“an adherent of an ideology, especially one who is uncompromising and dogmatic <-- fits you perfectly, considering how you react to facts that contradict you)” can’t manage anything other than variations of ‘you’re a bad person’ when they’re confronted with facts that contradict their precious narratives. Forbid anyone ever tell you that your short-sighted ego-stroking lust for instant gratification and convincing yourself of your moral superiority (another reason for the barrage of insults mentioned in the first sentence) may not actually be the best long-term move. No amount of evidence and data can shake an ideologue from their assumptions.
But yes, just keep pretending you know better than people whose life’s work is researching and understanding extremist movements, they’re all dumbasses and you’ve got the divine knowledge, right?
You are just an argumentative asshole dude, idiots like you are a dime a dozen and the sale never stops. Your “life’s work” sounds a lot like googling buzzwords for definitions; you argue with anyone over anything, especially in venues where you’ve been told nobody is going to argue because they don’t want or have to. These posts have nothing to do with honor or morals. It’s social media. I didn’t put forth any hardline ideas except “you’re kind of an asshole judging by your post history” and you literally went and proved it by trying to argue with nothing but ad hominem (which is what you’re accusing me of doing lmao).
If you can’t handle being contradicted in a public forum, public fora are not for you. I made my case very clearly and dryly, with citations, and you’re seething over the facts contradicting what you want to be true. That’s all there is to it.
I made zero attempts to evade any argument presented to me, at all, much less by attacking the one doing the arguing, which is what ad hominem actually is. On the other hand, you literally can’t write a single comment without “asshole” or a similar word in it, the type of language I used zero times in any of my exchanges. You’re projecting, hard.

Get a grip. Delete your account.
