Wow.....such educated babble from a lefty......Such is the power of ideology. I often say here that trying to communicate with people who are consumed by an ideology is like trying to communicate with a wild-eyed teenaged jihadi on the streets of Damascus. It's pointless.
People like this exist on both ends of the spectrum. It's very possible that people like that will never be part of reasonable, honest, constructive conversation. We just have to work around them, somehow.
You make a great point. There is an argument to be made that NOT engaging kray-kray just gives kray-kray wings. And that civil conversation with cultists can (on occasion) get them to look at things slightly differently - with a modicum of sanity.
But for the most part? Meh ... The writer of this piece is correct - It tends to be an exercise in futility.
