Idiots

Mark Hoofnagle:
I’m not interested in reducing polarization. I’m interested in making pseudoscience and anti-science ideologues detested for the scum that they are. I am a polarizer, if anything, and purposefully so. When people don’t respond to data, or reason, and they put everyone else at risk as a result of that behavior (HIV/AIDS denial, vaccine denial, global warming denial) the appropriate response is to shame them.
Mark is certainly not a skeptic, and not a scientist. He is an activist. And an idiot.

Even if "global warming denial" were the same thing as HIV/AIDS denial (which is a real problem): It would be good to study the problem rationally, find out what the problems are, what the causes are, and how those "conspiracy nuts" respond positevly to arguments – you know, "do a science" – instead of piling on the idiotic hit-pieces that are passed of as supposed science by the idiot activist Lewandowsky.
