This type of mentality actively discredits skeptics, because nobody wants to be lumped in with that. There're genuinely very smart people who were/are skeptical of many Covid policies, but unfortunately, they have to stand next to you. Which, of course, makes them look very stupid. It's a tough problem.
Because of normative cognition, which you suffer from, and which is causing the planet to warm up.
No problem though, you carry on just as you are, no need for you and yours to improve yourselves.
Yes, if you don't believe in Global Warming, you are just stupid. I'm not gonna hold your hand when I make you aware of your intellectual insufficiencies - you are stupid.
Now that you know you're stupid, you can either choose to reinforce your stupidity by living in a delusion or you can do a bit of research and catch up to the average human. I don't care either way, but you're passed the point of claiming ignorance. Eventually the stupidity is self-enforced, meaning you and others will go out of your way to ensure you are stupid.
However, I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they have a functional brain. Therefore, I conclude if someone "doesn't believe" in climate change, that is a choice. Not a matter of ignorance.
I do not pity you enough to spit in your face with hand-holding and euphemisms. There is a deliberate choice and I'll treat you as such.
If I was to do the same to you, would you not protest?
If you interpret that as a worse outcome, here's a thought: stop being willfully contrarian. Sometimes the most popular and most researched opinion is correct. You gain nothing by being contrarian.
Being skeptical is good. Being skeptical means you require a wealth of evidence to believe something. Well, if you don't believe in climate change, you're NOT skeptical - you're just an obnoxious contrarian. Because we have a wealth of evidence and I'm assuming you've reviewed it.
Yes, go back 50 years ago then. When we had so much more racism, when homosexuals were treated like dogs, when women were beaten for sport and nobody cared.
Those types of people died off not by some conspiracy. They died off because they were a cancer on society, a tumor on mankind. They died off because nobody liked them, except others of their ilk.
What you call "weak" I consider strong. We have the strength today to solve problems. We don't lynch black people anymore, we don't beat women anymore. Men are no longer scared to be themselves. I mean, people like you shiver in your timbers when you see a slightly feminine man - do you not understand the irony in that? How pathetic that makes you? Are you really so stupid that it's right in front of your eyes and you can't see it?
If it's the past you crave, I have doubts about your character. Go talk to an older gentleman and see what they've seen. We've moved on, either figure it out or die in the past. We're not gonna wait around and hold the hands of the weakest of our kind to catch up - you will be left behind.
