that is in terms of the pandemic and masks. this is a different discussion with broader goals.

Calling me a troll is a personal attack designed to discredit me. I have very different ideas and motivations than you do, but I am a true believer, not a troll.

Don't play coy, the sole goal of your "discussion" and account is to provoke and upset people.

The purpose of my discussion is to educate and inspire a global Ecosocialist revolution. The purpose of my account in general is to have interesting discussions. I have some pretty extremist views and I'm quite vocal about them in some discussions, that doesn't make me a troll.

Now, do you have anything constructive to say or are you just going to continue personal attacks?

I think you're being called a troll because you're proposing incarceration as a solution, and that's a fundamentally antiscientific position. Inconsistency + agression usually passes the duck test for a troll.

I'm not a scientist and have never claimed to be one. Having antiscientific positions is not a problem for me because science is, in this country, primarily a tool of capitalists.

I'm a Earth-worshipping socialist, but not a Maoist. if I were a Maoist I'd be calling for executions of climate change deniers, but I don't believe in killing for any reason, so instead I am calling for imprisonment of those who seek to harm the Earth. these beliefs are internally consistent, though perhaps not what you expect.
