Yes, it is very funny. I have had success by doing a new approach to the topics.
Instead of trying to convince people about it directly, I say it like this:
"We used to believe in X but because of ABC we now know that Y is correct" in a way that isn't about Y, so I use it as a premise for the point of my comment.
Most people don't react to it. They take it at face value.

You can simply refer to it as "what we used to believe for decades" until science showed us otherwise. Now all progressive rhetoric doesn't work anymore, because they are the dogmatic holding on to last century backwards thinking.
