OK.  So even with my simplified, less complicated, and less nuanced
overview, we still reach the same conclusion.  I'm glad to see that
even though someone is wrong on the internet, you can still see what
they're trying to accomplish without resorting to rhetoric and refusal
to consider the broader problems trying to be solved.  We need more
reactions like that.
