This reminds me of how anti-vaxxers / anti-modern medicine individuals will scoff, mock, and get downright nasty claiming there is "no proof" that a certain medicine will save lives, or that vaccines have been tested, or that such medicines or vaccines are safe, ect. And yet when presented with mountains of proof their claims are incorrect, they not only refuse to LOOK at the proof presented, but do nothing more than yelp about how they think the one showing showing them is corrupt or, their favorite insult "a shill". Then when you laugh at them for it and ask them to present their own evidence that their claims are are not, in fact, simply paranoia and conspiracy, they scream further, or they put you on ignore becuase they know they have no evidence to refute you. Then they try to claim "they win" because they have you on ignore and no longer can see the evidence you present.
