So we're getting some of that denial of reality onto Lemmy (self.microthoughts)

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!

This was indeed a vent. I usually strive to keep respectful dialogue, to the degree I don't downvote. But it is really hard to keep it together when people keep dismissing and avoiding the last 20 years of enlightening on the subject, while thinking they get unbiased, non-mainstream "says it like it is" news. And then tell me I'm the one who gets duped... I've been in conspiracy mode once, with 9/11, and know that no argument, but their own, can get them out of it.

Also, not that it matter since I've got the whole 'stewing tribal community hole' tirade, but rather than hateful cult I meant hateful cult-newspeak, as the writing pattern and word emphasis is recognizable. Tho their leaders ARE spiteful and instill anger in their followers.
