It doesn’t matter whether you actually believe something, if you act like you do and what you believed in is toxic you are still responsible for spreading poison.
You make the world a safer and more welcoming place for those who actually believe it.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoAt a certain limit it’s not so different from being a con artist essentially: literally taking advantage of the ignorant believers and using that for lulz or even power.
- tyingq 7y agoThe premise, to me, is silly enough that you aren't poisoning anyone. Anyone that would believe it is going to feed off of some other poison. Very few are equipped to hurt themselves or others via "flat Earth thinking".
- simonh 7y agoThat's their problem, it doesn't justify making it easier for them to get more poison.
- tyingq 7y agoIt is less harmful than, say, them latching onto anti-vaxx or eating Tide pods.
- gaius__baltar 7y agoTide pods are actually delicious however.
- gridlockd 7y ago> You make the world a safer and more welcoming place for those who actually believe it. I prefer the world in which people do the crazy stunts.
- DonHopkins 7y agoYeah, maybe Jim Carrey doesn't actually believe in all that anti-vaxer nonsense he spouts, but he simply hates children and wants them to die of preventable diseases.
- mdonahoe 7y agoI’m not condoning his behavior, but I like the news that he was faking. It should make the entire movement even less credible: “How can you believe this? Your fellow believers are probably just faking to get attention”
