People denying realities like anthropogenic climate change. I can respect opinions, like applying full human value to an undeveloped fetus, but the straight up denial of what is verified truth I can't even tolerate. It's false. It's lies. It's brainwashed tribalism. And they are gonna dig their tribal community hole and stew in reactionary rage and fear with their incoherent arguments whilst following their strong leaders, because gods forbid they are wrong on anything. No, truth itself is gonna bend around the word of dear leader.

The hateful cult newspeak is also rubbing me, but the denial of reality is the killer. And the mindnumbing memes that try to outwit with one-two sentences on comprehensive subjects. Political memes are a blight upon humanity and should be banned. Thanks for reading my sour micro(?)thought!

I really don't understand why people don't trust experts anymore and go full on dunning kruger. Or maybe we see them more today because they now are all over the internet (and sadly in politics) and proudly present their wrong claims on social media. We can be glad that the problem with the ozone layer was many years ago. Otherwise we wouldn't get that solved today either. Same with climate change or vaccines.
