  Instructions unclear, ran off into the woods and ignored everyone

  The world is full of idiots. Save your sanity and ignore them.

  yeah, by ignoring them, they’re bringing back diseases that were managed well (polio, etc) and put the US in the hands of fascism.

    What’s the alternative to ignoring them? You can’t make them smarter. You can’t exclude them from voting without creating something similar to fascism. Not even removing warning labels helps because idiots don’t read them anyway.

      Often, it’s not about the person you’re arguing against, it’s for the people watching who are on the fence.

      If you can keep yourself calm, rational, and present convincing evidence, then you can save some people from falling into those conspiracy and religious holes from which they may never return.

      Sometimes you get lucky and bring someone back from the brink.

      It’s estimated about 2% of Americans believe Earth is flat, and a further 9% aren’t sure what shape it is.

      2% of Americans is near 7,000,000 people. Near 40,000,000 don’t believe the Earth is a ball or are unsure.

      Even if you can’t convince the 2%, that’s still roughly 33,000,000 people in America alone you could potentially help with critical thinking. We need all the help we can get.

        I thought this way a long time ago. But just like Sisyphus I had to watch the rock roll down the slope again and again after believing to have achieved anything. It only takes a slight breeze to make the rock roll down again.

      You don’t know what the alternative is? Come on.

        No. Tell me. I’m genuinely interested.

  It’s a tough pill to swallow because social media gives these idiots a megaphone and places their bullshit right alongside actual experts. These people are a cancer on society. Ignoring them is good for your sanity but it also allows them to spread their disease unchecked.

  Agreed. But digging a little bit more on this person and you’ll find it just gets better. I was entertained for a bit and then moved on
