Arguing with an anti-vaxxer on YouTube and regretting my life choices.


Never read the comments.

I'm so sorry.

[spindle_ella]

I brought it on myself *woe*.

Oh, no. I mean, I can't blame you for wading in? Sometimes they're so stupid, you see red.

But yeah.

[spindle_ella]

I just can't. The latest is using my explanation of herd immunity (given in very small words) to advocate for greater border control, so I couldn't even leave it since he's using my words.

Like, they don't understand that they would also have to be subject to the quarantine protocols.

I've installed a browser extension that hides comments on youtube. It's worth its proverbial weight in gold.

Sounds tempting, but I'd still be tempted to look (I can resist everything except temptation).

[angrboda]

I do sometimes still look, but it involves having to change a setting and reload the page, so most of the time I find it's not important enough that I can be bothered.

I try to void debating them (and religious extremists), all it does is waste time and energy and create a lot of emotional stress.

[spindle_ella]

Sounds like a good strategy.
