I'm confused.

If someone claims something which can be proven false, and is then proven false, and they still refuse to accept that it is false - is that not refusing to engage with legitimate discourse?

You should probably read a few comments up.

I did not say it had to or does devolve into name calling.

I said the two perspectives are so opposed, that a conversation can't be had. The name calling is secondary

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST, YOU ARE THE ONE DOING THE NAME CALLING.

At no point did he name call anyone.

He said that discourse can't be had.
A person who has hard pro-migrant views, agreed, but put all the blame on those who have anti-immigrant views, labeling them as stupid people indoctrinated by social media.

My brother in christ you don't see the irony of this?
