I’m more lenient with anti-vaxxers because of their bias

Both groups are based on pseudo-science bull shit to help reshape reality to their worldview. But the motivation is different.

For anti vaxxers they didn’t want a needle stuck in their baby 10 times over 5 years. I can at least somewhat relate to that. I can see why they developed a fantasy world where they didn’t have to do that. Not only that, they’re heroes for not doing that, you heroic moms and dads saving your children from autism.

I can’t understand what fantasy flat earth fulfills other than the one where science and learned people are lying to you about absolutely everything you’ve ever been taught. That desire is fucking crazy and weird.

I’m even more ok with Dino riding Jesus because at least then you’re trying to protect your religious fantasy.

Hence the continuum
