I had a coworker before that was a flat-earther (lizardmen believer and all that shit), and one day he came into work saying “y’all ever wonder if the moon makes its own light??” during a dinner rush and the only thing that kept me from punching his lights out was the fact that it was dinner rush, or I would have pulled him by the collar of his shirt and beat him to near death.

I didn’t think people like that really existed until him, and even then I didn’t want to accept it.

That seems like a bit of an over reaction

I’d have thought that too, before meeting him. Even his own family only loves him begrudgingly (though they keep a much more polite face than I could) and conspiracies aside, he’s a waste of society’s time and resources.

Hate me if you think I’m wrong, but if you’ve never met those kinds of people, you have no room to talk. They’re infinitely worse than the internet can make them seem.

Oh yes. You’re such a hothead and tough guy that you beat morons to near death, but not during a…dinner rush. Kay.

Those things sound like the stories we would come up with as children when we let our imagination run wild. But then we went to school and got taught stuff, right?

And then people discovered how to exploit big data, social engineering, and social networks to begin uniting them in personality cults.
