He's sealioning you, not arguing in good faith.

It's more effective to call out the behaviour than to continue to engage, since continued engagement makes it seem like there's a "debate" or "two sides" and that his side is the rational one that's "just asking questions".

That's bullshit. He knows exactly what he's doing. Trolling and trying to shift the Overton window. It's bad faith manipulation, not a conversation. Treat it as such.

You're right, I have a bad habit of arguing in circles when people do this. As if pointing out their inconsistencies/irrationalities and explaining the reality just one more time will get them to see the light. I need to stop doing that...

Reading other comments in the chain, he was doing it to other people too. Just deliberately missing the point on repeat.

I need to stop engaging with trolls...
