As depressing as it sounds, I think it might be time to add a new entry to possible Drake Equation solutions:

"Stupid people stuck in a loop of hatred, bigotry and scientific denial kept society from moving forward fast enough to prevent destruction by climate change, conflict or lack of resources." And that's why we haven't seen any evidence of alien life. But societal evolution always follows that path.

Their grievances are a Gish Gallop.

Their entire worldview is an anxiety buffet; they've got something for everyone, all they need to bring is unmanaged fear

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I think their entire world view is based on projection. "I'm thinking about doing xyz so THEY must also be doing xyz." Every accusation is an admission. They imagine scenarios of drag queens molesting children so they think that drag queens must be molesting children. They imagine queer youth orgies at queer math camp so there must be queer youth orgies at queer math camp. They're angry about things that are only happening inside their own heads.
