This, this is what neurodivergence looks like.

Are you saying that in an attempt to insult/discredit me in some way? Yes, I'm neurodivergent, and proud of it. I'm also correct on the points I made (save for mixing up Haidt and Chait, as I owned up to).

This is what happens when your country skimps on mental health care.

But I guess that's the same joke.

This guy is just sad.

When you can't refute any of the other person's points, just call them crazy 🙄

Seems like you're contributing to hostile online discourse with all these insults you keep hurling at me. I'm just trying to have a conversation.

Not calling you crazy.

I'm calling you someone with serious emotional issues.

Absent your attempts to make it insulting and pathological, that's called passionately opposing injustice. Being dispassionate is not inherently more "sane" or "reasonable," having emotions is human and some things should provoke emotional reactions.

But of course, in reality, my response was quite calm and well reasoned, presenting plenty of evidence to support my points. You're the one who can't keep pace with that and have to resort to these petty insults in an attempt to discredit me, because you're incapable of a logical response.
