    I always wonder in these cases where idiots lash out denying climate change that deep down they do it as a coping mechanism, because if they accepted it exists it would quickly weigh down on them how fucked up our environment is.

    By denying it they don’t have to think about the world about to go to shit. Maybe that’s why people still have kids.

      These people are so deranged that if they have a single value overlap with “the libs” they lose their shit. If they can’t be polar opposites they don’t know how to handle it

      You seen behind the curve?

      I thought it was going to be a “science” documentary about flat earth. But it actually turned into more of a psychology documentary and is a tiny bit similar to what you are talking about. Why they believe and don’t change their mind.
