It’s all computer.
The level of dumb necessary to state what’s said in OP’s meme is just staggering and emblematic of the right- misunderstand everything and boil it down to the most basic YES vs NO proposition possible, then blame everyone else for your own shortcomings.
It’s so fucking tiresome.

Galileo: “Shit I can’t argue with that I take it back I guess.”

The better educated you are, the more left leaning you tend to be:

Conservatives tend to be dismissive of science and empirical evidence:

Higher verbal IQ correlates with liberal attitudes:

Whatever this dumb shit is, is a reaction to that. As usual, they project their own shortcomings on their enemies.
In any case, what it comes down to is basic empathy and morality. If you care for others, you tend to vote left. If you care for only yourself and your self-interests, you vote right. There is no debating that, it’s stated right there in the fucking ideology.
Nature is not weird? What that person described is not weird? It’s weird. You cannot convince me nature is not weird. Because nature is so fucking WEEEEEEIRDDDD
It’s no 69 but it’s getting there
Very cool, and congratulations. <3
I mean, Jesus literally said as much.
Matthew 21:18-22 - Jesus Curses a Fig Tree
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered. 20 And God looketh at Jesus and saideth to himeth- this is a valid crashout-eth.
Most certainly, that’s expensive shit!
Nature is so fucking WEEEEIRD
I thought for sure this was a joke.
It isn’t.
This happens.

You’re James C Scott, but better?
Fuck it, you have my vote too.

Well that was a particularly brief moment of wonder.

“The definitive case for eugenics”
One of my favorite archaeology stories comes from a Reddit AMA waaay back over a decade ago, there was this girl who was on an archaeological expedition somewhere in the Middle East and they had unearthed a bunch of ancient honey jars. Honey, famously, never goes bad, and their professor said that if anyone wanted to try some, they could. Most didn’t, but she did- lo and behold, tasted very much like normal honey.
Months later when they were back in the states they had performed some tests on the honey and realized that these jars had originally contained stillborn fetuses, a now known practice, which had dissolved into the honey over the millennia. So she had eaten human fetus honey.
I know it sounds made up but she was a legit archaeologist and could back it up with names and dates and shit, though I’m hazy on the details.
