So its pretty late in the pandemic

That is the crux of the matter. People who are afraid of Covid are closely related to control freaks. They do not like having no control whereas they will be happy masking up - no matter how crap their mask is.

Isnt it curious, that with a few edits, your statement still rings true.

Except, as I pointed out, it didn't ring true in it's first iteration.

Well they clearly don't have a fear of not being in control.

Discuss it with your psychiatrist the next time you see him. Or her.

I think a control freak would prefer flying,

Sorry dude Your analogy fails , as a control freak would insist on being in control, whilst the control freak could insist on driving ,hows does this work when flying....
You can't reason with a conspiracy theorist ,they are a religious zealot, incapable of rational thought process , that's why they are a conspiracy theorist.
They have a inability to rationally make sense of a complicated world, so they try and make sense with a religious like belief system.
They use confirmation bias to attempt to create a pattern they can understand they then dunning kruger themselves into thinking they are experts.
See where this is going
thus Science is evil, the Jews are the devil ,big pharma is the devil, shadowy gov are the devil, big business is is plotting all evil the conspiracy theorists are some kind of white knight...
Everyone else is a sheep, while the conspiracy theorist is the lamb of god...

That's actually a very good summation.

Yesterday I was watching some flat earther content in my idle time. Somebody flew several flat earthers to Antarctica to see the 24hr sun which according to their beliefs was an impossibility. They also believed there were armed guards at Atarctica who would turn anybody away. When they had stayed up 24 hrs and were convinced there was 24hr sun, they performed several little exercises to prove they weren't in a studio or using a green screen. To no avail. Their former fellow travellers 'know' they performed these acts in a dome and on a green screen.

One flat earther, a pastor, said only two people can control the weather: the government and the devil. I thought it interesting that his God apparently can't control the weather.



Afterthought: In case anyone is interested, the flat earthers visit to Antarctica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsETzrRr3is

What I find truly pathetic is when people use the flat earth story to suggest an equivalence with questioning the safety of vaccines.

Well they say the devil is in the details....

The only thing dumber than flat earthers are people who think any entertaining the idea of one or more conspiracies believes all of them.
Take JFK, moon and 911, you’ll have various crossovers depending on peoples personal life experiences…

Recently I got sidetracked into someone’s posting history checking out their bikes. OMG the flat earth group is on a whole entire different t level. I think the flat earth attracts those with least amount of scientific/technical knowledge and seems the home of anti govt/sov cit crowd.
We live in a world where people click and share memes with no authentic personal thought input combined with polarisation of political camps there is little middle ground d in anything.
Perhaps we need to send them up into space..,

Don't buy into that NASA bollocks, they are a special effects company owned by George Lucas.
