It's why "every accusation is a confession" works so often. They are accusing others of the things they themselves are doing, because they assume everyone is doing it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 weeks ago And they cannot get over the novel idea that people don't think that way and thus are lying or doing it better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children) See also them using phrases like "believing in science". I don't have to believe in it, it's repeatable. Stop projecting your dumb worldview. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago Whenever someone brings up "believing in science" remind them that science isn’t a matter of belief, it's a matter of understanding. The world is the way it is whether you "believe" in it or not. The world is the way it is whether you understand it or not, and life is a lot easier when you understand the world around you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago True. Because they are willing to dig in their heels and reject evidence that doesn't fit their worldview, they assume that science-minded people are the same. They don't understand how "receive new data" and "refine or revise hypothesis" are important parts of the process. If they incorporated those steps, their belief system would implode. permalink fedilink source parent [–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 1 point 3 weeks ago You can not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God exists. Issac Newton saw an apple fall and then dropped other objects to prove the existence of gravity. God = belief. Science = evidence. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 weeks ago It's more that these morons actually behave this way. They trust anyone with an "(R)" at the end of their name. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago The Democratic Party has its Gavin Newsoms and Joe Manchins and Michael Bloombergs and Anthony Weiners aplenty. No shortage of Democrats on the Lolita Express. No shortage of liberal billionaires hungry for another war in the Middle East, another trillion dollar data center spend on public land, or another Bay of Pigs on Cuba. None of Trump's politics are unique to Trump. We've got shitty little fascists crawling all over the country, from the bluest cities of Washington and Minnesota to the reddest oil fields of Texas and Wyoming. If anything, the latest wave of Silicon Valley "Network State" fucks have been more concentrated in liberal districts. And their money has produced a wave of horrifyingly bad liberal politicians who are as much responsible for the Obama->Trump party slump as any QAnon club. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* It's easier on their hamster brains that way. Means they don't have to worry about doing any homework. Ironically, when it comes to actual sports, they'll get on some Good Willing Hunting shit and go ultra deep into player stats and coaching strategies. Probably the only time I've ever heard one not sound like a complete idiot. permalink fedilink source parent
