    It it really, though? If you consistently disprove someone’s claims using factual information and they choose to dismiss it, then they’re just willfully ignorant.

    Stupidity can be corrected. Intentional stupidity is inexcusable

      Most people have a hard time accepting criticism. They interpret any perceived attack on their beliefs as an attack on them (their ego). Once their on the defensive, you have a tiny chance of convincing them. Instead, they might justify their position and/or simply attack or dismiss your argument at best. But if their not feeling nice, it’s more likely they resort to namecalling such as sheep / lib / commie / dumbass etc.
