People like that has always existed. We just didn't give them media coverage.

Must be sad to be a crazy scientists today. "They laughed at me and called me crazy for thinking the moon is made of cheese? They'll pa.." "No actually you got like 150 followers on Bird-app who agree." It just isn't the same. ๐Ÿ™„

People who have good reasoning skills can see it for what it is, so we need to collectively get into the habit of calling out disingenuous manipulation and put a stop to it. Rather than focusing on refuting each specific point, draw attention to the most ridiculous points, refute one or two, then stop engaging entirely because it is self-defeating.

The fact that this man is still given televised platforms after everything is unreal. All that does is give the illusion that there is substance to his manipulation. He needs to be shunned to his echo chamber and the world needs to move on.
