    Hopping into this conversation to say: that person is right; I’m not downvoting you because “rich people bad”. I’m downvoting you because you aren’t engaging in this discussion to share ideas and understand the other person. Your approach in this discussion is very much one of shutting down thinking that opposes yours. That doesn’t get a dialog going; it ends it. You can do with that as you like, but I thought I’d speak up for myself so you don’t mischaracterize my downvote.

      Conspiracy theory thought is mental poison and should be shut down. Not all thinking is equal.

      I wouldn’t engage a “flat earther” in a meaningful dialogue, and I would caution you against it as well. It’s chess with a pigeon, at best

      Also, here’s the comment I received directly before yours, lest you think I was just making that part up
