Do you think that the people who believe in this bullshit wouldn't believe it if they were provided evidence or something?
They don't work on evidence. They work on vibes. They believe what they believe because they want to, not because it makes sense.
That's why it's so hard to argue with these idiots. You can't logic a dumbass out of a position they didn't logic themselves into.
No, you have to meet people where they are. You have to question their position until it becomes untenable and they give up. It never feels like a victory, but you have to hope that eventually it will make a difference...
Honestly that is exactly the wrong way to do that. It will never work to question a position of someone so entrenched. If you are really interested in this look up cult deprogramming.
That's called "sea lioning" now, though.
You can do that, and I wish you luck
If you argue with an idiot they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Reminds me of the one about the pigeon playing chess.
