Ahh, I see. I think I understand the confusion now. I believe our primary disagreement here lies in the fact that you don't see /u/airstrike not differentiating between fiscal and monetary policy in his/her original comment, as a major red flag, whereas from my perspective I do.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Stand up. Take a big stretch. Do something besides the internet for a few hours and then think about what you’re typing.

You're wrong. That is not our primary disagreement.

I'm trying to have a genuine discussion here with you, but that requires two-way communication.
I've laid out what I think to be the issue between our perspectives. If you disagree, that's more than fine, but you've got to give me more than a "you're wrong" if you want to have a meaningful conversation.

I made my choice.
From your behavior here you do not strike me a somebody currently ready to have a meaningful conversation on this topic. I'd suggest pointing a few people whose opinions you respect and who have a head for nuance at this discussion. Maybe they can help you.
I will note that airstrike is not "unable to differentiate the two". They have quite clearly gone on to demonstrate that ability.
It is important to make sure false information doesn't circulate. But I don't think that excuses being "harsh".
