It's funny, I can tell that you obviously feel very strongly about this. But there's also so much in your posts on this stuff that is ahistorical, afactual, or in some cases just total nonsense. I have relatives like you, too, who come out with something ridiculous like "the moon landings were faked!!" or "cancer's all a scam by Big Pharma to keep us doped up!!" and we used to go back and forth for hours about it. I eventually stopped engaging because these were people who were just carrying around a worldview in their heads that wouldn't allow them to have an honest discussion, and obviously bore no relation to reality. So you go on thinking all the things you do. I don't think I or anyone would ever persuade you that you had some information wrong or some history wrong or some principles in your thinking wrong. I'm not even going to try, because I know what it's like arguing with folks like you. Best of luck, and carry on!
