That's the appropriate response to someone calling *themselves* a dualist in modern times. Generally the only time anyone uses the label dualist nowadays is to apply it to other people you don't agree with to make them look bad. It's flat earth tier in terms of being something most everyone knows is wrong and nobody seriously defends.
