Dunno why ignorance is allowed to fester when education is so readily available.

Flat Earth is literally the exact opposite of free thinking.

For flat earth the trolls restarted it, but there are just too many realistic believers to doubt lol

I think antivax has always been an organic belief.

People have politicized higher education and science for some time now, so it was only a matter of time before the anti-intellectuals started to take up these movements because science is a liberal hoax and universities are socialist indoctrination centers.

We've moved into a very dangerous attitude of belief over facts, and that's been encouraged by the religious right. Donnie and republican media have been chipping away at the idea of objective, shared reality and trained their followers to reject anything that doesn't line up with what they think. I don't know how we come back from this because no one is willing to hold the people who push this shit accountable.

anti vaxxers and flat earthers can be on any side of the political spectrum so I';m not sure what the point of this post is

They're not open-minded. They're literally brainwashed by disproven "research".

These are stupid ideas, but also nothing to get spun up about and saying why are we letting this happen kinda freaks me out cause it sounds like wanting to harm or arrest people for thought crime.

True idiocy is dangerous when these crazy people can vote and get their own platform. Sane people just have to outnumber them I suppose.

Flat Earth started off as a meme that the gullible picked up as fact. Anti-vax began as a fraudulent study done by a quack physician that was picked up by dumb-as-hell celebrity Jenny McCarthy (and subsequently Jim Carrey who took his method acting to the nth degree) which used her fame to really kick-off the dangerous movement.

Turns out McCarthy's kid didn't have autism. In any case, both of these can be solved with education. The fact even flipping Flat Earth is taken seriously shows how awful our education system is. And realize calling them idiots or stupid is not going to solve anything.
