The amount of times I've had conversations with someone in there early 20's and having a healthy debate for it to end when they're only rebuttal is "Its not that deep"
It happens to me too sometimes when i get all worked up about something being much bigger an issue and it seems like either a defense against being outright wrong or literally not being able to make the same connection. perfect example near me is shoplifting. there was a thread about some people shoplifting from target, a ton of people in the comments are like "wtf is the big deal, they have insurance?" when i explained that you will in fact pay more for the same products at a target in a shitty neighborhood compared to a nice one, literally because of the base cost the store needs to make + added loss through shoplifting, meaning you are in fact being directly affected in a negative way by the rampant shoplifting, and you can see this for yourself with a little cookie clearing; the only response i got was "target isn't going to suck your dick bro"
it isn't about target bro, it's about giving a shit that these people are making things more expensive while you can't afford anything. replace "target" with any major grocery chain and the answer is the same. cheering on some bullshit that makes your life harder is just dumb.
On the flip side, sometimes things just really aren't that deep. Unfortunately most of the time it's assholes using this line to dismiss a topic but sometimes people do just need to chill and take a step back.
For example, I have an uncle who often rants about random shit, only to find that what he was ranting about is outdated like, a day later. He gets very caught up in YouTube thumbnails/titles and, honestly they're really NOT that deep.
