I see this on countless forums and comment sections online, and it's truly bizarre. It's funny how one poster can single-handedly derail an entire discussion, I'll never understand the concept of trolling online, and what enjoyment some people garner from it.

Most of the right wing guys in my family and friends who post regular garbage on Facebook are typically under/un-employed(/educated), fat(actually) and lazy. I feel like there is a definite trend of right wing people just devolving into YouTube/right wing propagandist philosophies believing strictly on "numbers" and "evidence" without being able to decipher the nuances that lie in research - inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, pre-determined hypothesis vs subgroup analyses etcetc.
Welfare, perfectly groups into these people in my family/extended right wing group of friends. He presents a bombardment of shallow arguments without much thought or consideration of nuances. Like most of the audiences of Sam Harris, Shapiro, Peterson et al. Alot of right wingers your describing (see: welfare) that seem to gravitate towards "evidence" are lonely, internet addicted, self-important illiterates.
I'm off this thread now, and potentially off RS for good (except maybe the travel and watch threads).
