A half hour essay about exactly what it says on the tin: thought terminating clichés (it's not that deep, it can't be helped,...) anti-intellectualism (they were blue) and propaganda (shutting someone off rebutting you, realigning cognitive dissonance)

I’m glad to hear the “I ain’t reading all that” meme reply getting called out. It’s honestly one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever seen online and it should be shamed every time.

Not just ignorant but also highly disrespectful maybe even with a hint of anti-intellectual, as it seems to be too hard on you to read all of that, not wanting to understanding your "opponents" points and also wasting maybe a perfectly valid explanation.
