Oh I love this argument. "I'd prove you wrong but I don't want to". The wailing cry of an NPC struggling to maintain cognitive dissonance. It's as iconic as the blue screen of death.

I think it's more the tired words of someone who's been down this road before. Why put the work in if the person you are responding to is just going to brush you off anyway? May as well tell them to do it themselves.

May as well not say anything at all. It's better to say nothing and let people think you are an idiot, than open your mouth and prove them right.

But if you think that is an argument that is more than retarded nonsense, than I assure you everything you believe is wrong and you should do your research to figure it out. Now off you go to do your research.

You can't argue if you can't concede.

The woke don't argue. They don't debate. Here's why: https://newdiscourses.com/2020/07/woke-wont-debate-you-heres-why/

I have severe health issues. Concentrating for more than a few seconds at a time is very difficult these days. Why would I toil with the tiny bit of life left in me to prove to somebody how deluded their views are, when they are in fact visibly arguing in bad faith and will not accept TRUTH when it is given them as a honest gift?

And I am many things, but part of the left I am most certainly not.
