Ha! Imagine being the one among my fellow pagans who openly has conservative political viewpoints. One of my former friends refused association with me when I openly criticized the "settled" science of climate change. Apparently, that's now classed alongside "hate speech."

I don't doubt that there's a human contribution to climate change, but even scientific studies have suggested that a single volcano releases more sh*t into the atmosphere than all human emissions combined throughout history. And when governments want to censor or imprison people for daring to suggest that maybe the science isn't "settled" (science is NEVER "settled;" science is the collection of knowledge into testable explanations and predictions, not a final word) as so many liberal talking heads hallucinate on the topic of climate change, one is left wondering just how "settled" the science really is. People who go on about "settled" science have agendas; they also (willingly or inadvertently) put themselves into the same basket as the people who insisted the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun revolved around the earth. The science was "settled" in those cases, too.
Yes, I just compared climate change acolytes to Catholic leaders. It is not an apples and oranges comparison, unless you think the climate change acolytes are somehow the kinder, gentler version of oppressors (kind of like how "democratic" socialism is somehow preferable to regular socialism).

Not about the theory itself, but probably the most classic reaction to a conspiracy theorist was when Buzz Aldrin - former Air Force F-86 fighter pilot who flew over 60 missions in Korea, who holds a doctorate in engineering, and who also happened to walk on the moon - delivered a right hook to the jaw of this gadfly faked-moon-landing conspiracy theorist after he reached his limit with this clown carrying a Bible and asking Aldrin to swear on it that he lied about the moon landings. And there is video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wptn5RE2I-kDown goes the conspiracy nut. Clearly, the footage was faked! I'd bust someone's face in if they called me a coward and a liar as well. He deserved it.

Jews can't be reptiles because some reptiles shed their entire skin. Shedding and/or removing one's foreskin will not lead to eternal life, guys. Antisemitic conspiracy theories are among the snarkiest and in some cases the funniest...one is often left wondering what drugs these people are on when they dream them up.
