There's nothing in what I've said so far that implies I'm *angry* at people who believe the opposite.

And in fact, I don't really care enough to be angry. There's a bunch of people who think aliens are coming, or the earth is flat, or that they need to sit in the highway to "stop oil". I'm not motivated to be angry at them either. The world is full of un-serious people.

Furthermore, "you are angry at people who don't believe what you believe" is a known Talking Point. Talking points are these little "canned arguments" that are made and presented by media outlets and then are repeated verbatim by a mob of intellectual zombies with no unique opinions of their own. This is the target of the "NPC" meme, and the saying "When you argue with a boomer, you're arguing with the TV and the TV doesn't care".

I council anyone against ever repeating a talking point because it's "NPC coded" activity. If you don't wanna get laughed at, don't show up in clown shoes...

Anyway, your responses have significantly degraded my enthusiasm in engaging this conversation any further - and the only thing in my mind right now is that so much of the trouble with modernity is down to the fact that everyone's vote is equal.
