Very true.You’ve got to feel sorry for a lot of them. They simply can’t cope with the notion that their minds are befuddled by emotion, so much so that they can’t cope with facts.
I think there's also a perception that if you are broadly in agreement with what is being touted as 'the right thing' by the mainstream, then anybody or anything contrary to that is either a fool, disrupter, or most likely both, and simply should not be listened to or their perspective given any credence whatsoever as it will be nonsense.
That's happened with a few other things in the past few years as well!
