This is one of my all-time favorite exchanges on this site. The incongruity of the two participants in every way is lol-worthy.
It's almost like one side is incapable of talking in good faith about some topics, so they have to repeatedly and comically force straw man arguments for the other side.
This is another example in which there is an internal contradiction of the conservative reasoning, but that is not allowed to matter in the conservative mind: as it is pure Dasein. I experience the argument that red lining was racist as false, and I experience the idea that redressing the effects of red lining in these areas as racist. One cannot reason oneself into such a position, but that doesn't matter: system 1 is in control.
