I'm a microbiologist and I can confirm... they walk among us. There were colleagues who had to leave because they refused to get vaccinated because... well they were/are MAGA. I was in grad school with someone who believed the earth was only 6000 years old.... As much as you think it would, education can't cure stupid.

The wife's father was a scientist who flat fuck refused to believe in the moon landing.

It's not about logic, it's about feeling part of an in-group. It's emotional.

There was some universally known moron in chat long ago who used to call people who understood that planets were not fucking flat "globetards". Yes, American.

I’ve met a geologist who works for an oil company that is a YEC.

At uni, a fellow biology student was an evangelical Christian.
He brought his beliefs to an exam in evolution, which he then failed.

Someone was attempting to explain to me earlier that George Carlin supported their political group.
The guy who hated all political groups and encouraged people to, not vote, because it was meaningless.
9/10 people only really hear what they wanna hear which is the cause of 10/10 of our problems.

That's normal though, at least half of them likely failed upwards or are so long with the company they have been automatically promoted no matter if they can do it or not.

I used to teach university microbio. I'd get 1-2 vocal antivaxxers a semester. Most of my students were pre-med or pre-nursing. Terrifying.

I work with a moon landing denier. We work for the US Air Force, co-located with a NASA facility.

I served as meteorologist, meet a couple who didn't believe in climate change.
Then our officer had a conversation with them.
Guy had a PhD from the USAF Academy and got his doctorate with his research into climate change.

I once asked a libertarian who was a NYC fireman how he justifies his employment when there are rivers so close by and buckets are readily available.

I worked for a vice president at a space company who was a moon landing denier. And honestly that's pretty tame as far as the conspiracy theories he was into, but like... we worked for a space company.
seckzie
Not believing the moon landing took place is more about a distrust in the regime, media and "narrative" than a disbelief in space travel.

Definitely. Also, a Libertarian is a person who'd rather pay $35,000 to a company for a service rather than pay $200 in taxes for the government to provide the same service but better.
SandyTentaclez
The... BEST animal... is able to survive out of the system as cats are the only animal able to return to living in the wilds all by themselves. Libertarians barely survive a bad day at the stock markets.
ArcadiaBerger
Cats, dogs, goats, pigs, parakeets, horses and goldfish can all successfully go feral . . . after sustaining a substantial die-off.
SandyTentaclez
...ya know thats true. At least for parakeets and similar birds held as pets. We got a "plague" of tropical birds around here because they broke free somewhere and spread. ...but domesticated dogs? Not so sure. ...and goldfish... eehh
Asadsadsadclown
I would also describe them as people that were called gifted in middle school in upper middle class households. Who are currently training to become the next big altright podcaster. Also just straight up pedophiles, like not even hiding it. Like running for office in local elections on a platform to lower the age of consent. If I had a nickel for every time a libertarian tried to rally the public against the age of consent I would have pizza money.
Mendalburg
No, house cats are smarter. They know they're dependent on a system, they just don't care. They have people for that.

Well, only if OP is a son of a bitch, since dogs are clearly #1. Then cats, dolphins, capybaras, maras, bunnies, owls, and i'm sure homo sapiens is somewhere in the list, eventually.

You misspelled badgers as "dogs", which is hilarious with how low dogs are on the top 20, lol.

You know, I never wanted to fight a badger before. Now I see the appeal.

How many Trump cultists have young daughters?
TheAccursedHamster
Plenty. They need sacrifices, after all.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Doesn't matter. Their life philosophy is "As long as it's not happening to me or anyone I care about, it's not real."
MaterialisticWorm
Unfortunately they likely dont care about their daughters as people.
Flareside
They don't have daughters they have future date rapes
modis
The daughters they giddily fantasize about protecting violently from any boy that looks at her wrong but would happily allow in the same room as Trump?
Level21Magikarp
They bring them to Trump at an easter event where he hits on them.
baronluke
*hits them
StarLeagueRecruit
I'm not young, but I'm a daughter who was sexually abused while young. My father wanted to be violent towards my abuser. Now he's a Trump cultist, and once made me cry in public defending Brett Kavanaugh.
ahorseelbowdeepinme
I just found out my daughter-of-a-Japanese-immigrant, lesbian acquaintance is anti-trans and an islamaphobe. I pointed out that every complaint she made about either group has been made about all three of the demographics she belongs to. It was a very disappointing day.
arumunus
I had a manager once who was a lesbian republican pro-trumper. A young non-binary individual was hired, and the manager was immediately against using their preferred pronouns. Their reasoning were all the talking points anti-LGBTQ folks would use against her and her wife.
She also traveled to Texas during Covid and in the aftermath of that horrible storm they had. Her reasoning was the tragedy made travel there cheaper. No family or anything. Just a cheaper travel place for her vacation.

That old 1940s "Don't be a sucker" video is kinda relevant.

Bold of you to assume all the world's idiots exist within the confines of one country. Stupidity knows no bounds.
Xenarion
No, sadly this idiocy is present in other countries too.

You realize 'everywhere' includes the US, right? Or are you one of those idiots thinking their country has no idiots?

Animatronio
Knew a radiation control tech who was a young earth creationist. Just a little odd, considering that radioactive decay is how we know the earth is older than 6,000 years old.
pilomotor
Obviously, God carefully adjusted the balance of radioisotopes in everything he created 6000 years ago to make most things seem much older than they actually are, to test our faith. Kinda like those pre-distressed denim jeans that have strategically torn knees already when you buy them brand-new.
FuzzyX
I don't understand that Earth is 6000 years old idea when skipping the 6000 count then this was the point when Adam and Eve was banished from Eden. And quite simply the location where they were banished to was older including existing people already there.
So that seems to say nothing about how old Earth is.
dashers
My understanding is, those people who think the world is only 6000 years old for some biblical reason don't intersect those people who apply critical thought or go back to first principles. Somebody told them that's what is said in the bible, and that's what they believe.
SleepyHollowAppleTree
My sister was kicked out of nursing school for being an anti vaxxer, during covid.
Emjayen
It's sad to say but nurses are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.
Bubbells
My cousin and his wife both worked in medical field during covid, one at icu. Both antivaxxers
teardropivyyearofthetiger
My cousin is still a nurse. Watching Fox News. In Canada.
Toqom
I look at any person working in a hospital who doesn't wear a mask as an idiot. The worst shit shows up at hospitals
CptRobotNinja
The antivaxx nurses got real quiet during COVID, but they've been coming back out more and more. It's fucking disheartening. Like bitch you stood next to me and watched people die, then you watched it stop when the vaccine came. Wtf is wrong with you?
DerpeDimmer
davebarton315101
Cool
Benegesseritwitch75
I work in EMS you would not believe the amount of people in this field who are anti vax (Covid) but have all the other vaccines and the amount who think it wasn't that bad just a bad cold like you were here you worked through this you SAW the deaths wtf!
MakeItBackAlright
Man I've worked with a lot of nurses and most are fine but damn you will find some absolute mental gymnastics to entertain some of their beliefs
Velocirapture2015
As a Registered Nurse, good. She was failing to meet the minimum requirements of the profession.

Hilarious. Good
AlmightyDiapahbetusGarlicGerbil
I'm AS, but I can tell you right now, even IF those caused the condition, it's better than being close to Death's door with a deadly disease you have the chance to prevent. Listen to the doctors, people. They know what they're doing.
FoamingToad
From a UK perspective, doctors have a reasonable idea of what they are doing, but nurses have little appropriate medical training - they're there to do saline drips, transfusions, bloodwork and monitoring. I do apologise if I have maligned any UK nurses out there and would like to have my worldview expanded.
Tengenstein
Even if it wasn't better, if it stops other people dying....
Reframe this, would you give 1 person a disability to stop 2 people dying?
Honestly I think we just need move on and start vaccinating anti vaxxers like other dangerous animals; via dart gun.
wazeewa
I had a doctor who thought evolution was a made up lie and tried to argue that God did it. I asked for a different doctor.

What a wild profession to choose. Just like the Military, the medical profession largely mandates vaccines.

SleepyHollowAppleTree
Yes, at least they caught her before she could do any real damage.
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
She can have kids and spread diseases through them. She probably will. She can vote Trump or Trumps replacement into presidency the next election. Still plenty of ways for her to do real damage.
SirenSinger17
I'm a nurse and I support that action.
Oatmealman1
Good, hopefully she's is never allowed to practice any kind of medicine. Sorry bro but your sister is a dangerously ignorant moron.
SleepyHollowAppleTree
No need to apologise for telling the truth dude, she's always been a moron, I cut ties with her after she voted for bush, twice, because and only because he claimed to be pro-life, didn't seem to matter to her that he started several wars.

My ex wife, an RN since 2006 is an antivaxxer. She is super intelligent but apparently a complete idiot

JusticePhrall
My girlfriend is an RN working in eastern Washington, and about half of the nursing staff she works with are antivax, as are several of the doctors. It's mind boggling.
WWWileECoyoteDo
I worked in Eastern WA for 11 years. The amount if antivax bullshit that side of the state can produce just has to be experienced to be believed. Along with trump lovers, nazis across the border in Idaho, flat earth nutjobs, and farmers that overwhelmingly voted for Trump somehow thinking their business wouldn't be impacted. I'm glad I moved.

You know, I don't actually mind if farmers get replaced with robots.
