The Gaslighting term for this is sealioning.

I have been actually on the other side of this when trying to get people to understand differing points of view and when they get frustrated they will go into troll mode or state both-sides.

Dealing with them is like looking into a deep tar pit or dark abyss. They are not worth the time, and sometimes the best thing to do is not play the game.

e.g.

So you don't understand what CRT and instead of having a discussion about race and the plights of the disadvantaged through past history, you are going to let your feeling and simpleton brain play checkers while the rest of everyone plays chess.

See you are either not smart enough to have a discussion where one could say, gee maybe we should have it as an advanced elective in high school where the context and concepts could be better understood then versus in general history courses.

But white people bad is all that comes out of your mouth, which means you don't get it ... AT all ...

Have a nice life and when you do get educated outside of op-ed talking points of a Fox Infotainment Faux-News organization, I am here to have a discussion.

Think before you speak, or else maybe you will stop and let wisdom catch up with you since you keep running faster then it can every catch up.
