I am beginning to lose tolerance for posts of this ilk.

It's like flatearthers going to show those sheeple what for, making a thread on an astronomy sub saying "Oh yeah? So why is the horizon straight? Huh?" and then disappearing running off to their flatearther friends, talking about what dum-dums astronomers are and how they just couldn't accept the truth, completely unshaken in their belief.

I wish the sheer amount of these "error: kindergarten biology not found" threads did something to convince these people how badly thought-out this entire ideology is, but sadly they have their own way of "winning": put fingers in ears and go "LALALALA NOT LISTENIIING".

But the threads are useful ways of reaching people who are on the fence, or brand new to these matters, or confused and overwhelmed by all the propaganda and lies thrown out by the QT side. Posting on these thread is still worthwhile coz it's a way of sharing info, insights and arguments with those who are on the side of reality but who might feel too cowed and uninformed to marshal their own arguments and make their own posts with confidence. Or at least that's I tell myself, and why I post.
