Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker's scolding escalates from calling someone foolish to a harsh suggestion that their disappearance would remove their stupidity. The exaggeration makes the anger unmistakable. Read as an insult, the line presents an extreme verbal dismissal rather than a measured assessment of the person addressed.
