I’m surprised this rethorical trick is so hard to recognize. It is as old as the hills and you will hear it from people from conspiracy nuts to priests, salesmen to politicians. So it is a good thing to understand and be aware of.

The crux is the speaker preventatively discredit any objection. In this case by suggesting they are irrational and emotonal.

“People will complain/get angry/be triggered by my theory X because theory Y is a dogma/cult/holy cow/religion/what they have been told to believe by mainstream media” - the point is of course that an objections to theory X might be perfectly resonable and fact based. Objections will tend to be defensive (“its not a cult, it is mathematically proven that…”) making them seem weaker.

If you want continue discussing this then please address the points I made rather than insisting on the same point I already addressed. If you won't then I'll simply stop responding and assume you're just acting in bad faith.
