I read and watch their media all the time: Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, Drudge, NY Post, Trump's Twitter, etc. I used to lurk /r/the_donald on reddit and /pol/ on 4chan back in the day.

I was referring to this: > that heuristic doesn’t work for anti-maskers. > I still have trouble understanding how they can think the way they do. Indeed you have watched some media, and you have observed some behavior, but you are extrapolating that into a confident perception of knowing what an entire group of people comprehensively think and believe, are you not? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind If you were to observe someone else doing the same but with a different logical grouping, say, by ethnicity or certain religions, would you consider that acceptable?

  You: You've probably only skimmed a few articles. Me: I read their media frequently and in-depth. You: No, what I meant was the theory of the mind.... Me: Sure, pal.

    It's funny because you write as if you can read people's minds, but you're playing it off as if it's me who's being ridiculous. Examples of mind reading: - Not being facetious at all, but [that heuristic doesn’t work] for anti-maskers. - [the information they have] is widely viewable on Trump’s Twitter feed and Newsmax. - [I know what they know] and I still have trouble understanding how they can [think the way they do]. The amount of people who seem to have this self-perception is starting to look like a fairly substantial percentage of the userbase here. Will be interesting to see if this changes in 2021.
