More debates need a simple “CAN IT”
More rough than “can it”. Pretty sure the closer translation would be Shut Up.
I agree with it.
My French listening isn’t that good yet. What does he say?
Ta gueule.
Merci beaucoup

Effectively “shut the fuck up”.
“Gueule” is a mouth, but that of an animal, mostly a carnivore like a dog or a reptile.
I couldn’t catch it either, but yeah, that’s rough. Definitely a step above “shut up”.
Yeah, there are a number of ways of telling someone how to shut up in French, (and Quebec does it differently than France). In France, this is one of the more aggressive / assertive / rude ways. But, the way he said it was a milder version, so it’s more a “stfu” rather than “shut the fuck up”.
There’s “tais toi” which is basically like “be quiet”. What you might say to kids being annoying. There’s “ferme ta bouche”, which is literally “shut your mouth”. Or, “ferme la”, which is basically “shut it”. He basically picked the rudest form, but said it in the mildest way.
What would have been the not mild form? Full “ferme ta gueule”?
Some debates don’t even need to happen anymore. No the earth isn’t flat. No trans people aren’t monsters trying to kill Jesus. No vaccines don’t turn you gay. No the world wasn’t created 6000 years ago.
We’ve legitimized too many morons in the world. Not everything is a debate, some things are just facts that need to be thought to the ignorant.
If only we did all politics like this.
let’s be honest if the argument about anything is religious the person don’t have enough brain to debate anything
I tend to agree, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve got a bit less strict with thinking all religious people are idiots.
But I’m still pretty fervently of the mind that dogmatic monotheism is honestly one of the — if not the — worst thing that happened to humanity.
The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.

This is just a strawman.
A fully transitioned strawman who’s finally happy and can live his best straw life.
Genuinely a missing component of most debates:
Some questions have these things called “answers.”
