I completely misread anti-scientific as antisemitic initially, and was disappointed with the lack of Jewish space lasers causing global warming. The actual situation is still stupid as fuck, but less schadenfreude laughing with regular climate denial.
And there you go from the moral/intellectual high ground, mocking them as toddlers and saying it’s right and normal to laugh and make fun of them.
I can’t stand vaccine hesitancy and anti-science bullshit. I’ve had to deal with this becoming a Fox News thing in my own family, and lost too many people from alternative “Eastern” medicine over “Western” medical science. But the mockery and ridicule only feeds into the Christian persecution complex most of that rural white population already embraces, and causes the wagons to circle.
