Dismissive Engagement / dismissive engaging
When someone half-heartedly enters a debate just to shut it down, insult, or provoke — then immediately claims they don’t care, cutting off any real discussion.
They engage long enough to invalidate your point (or rile you up), but then retreat into “I don’t care” mode so they don’t have to defend themselves. It’s basically a one-way valve for arguments: their opinion goes through, yours gets dismissed.
• You: “I think the government should…”
Them: “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I don’t care anyway, go argue with someone else.”
• You: “Here’s why I like this policy.”
Them: “LMAO that’s trash, but whatever, not my problem.”
