Denialist really is a bad term. It's meant to invoke a parallel to holocaust denial, and assumes the correctness of one's own view. I might as well call you a denialist. It's also begging the question to say your adversaries have been misled; I'm on the opposite side of the fence from you, and I think you're the one who's been misled. So that's a waste of time. This stuff about how I and other people who think like I do just don't care about the future or other people, that's nonsense. That's just thinking "oh, well, perhaps they haven't been misled, perhaps they're just bad people." Lazy. The real cause of disagreement is taste about what measurable artifacts a person deems important, how they weigh them, etc.
