“We take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be” is a totally empty slogan. Who do you think isn’t dealing with the world as they think it is? You think people who disagree are all just going around in willful fantasy?

People that choose to believe that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program just because they hate Israel and will believe anything that anyone that opposes Israel says. It's insane really... if they had no nuclear weapons program, why would they be opposed to the IAEA doing inspections?

Hard not to be condescending when talking to people that hang on to willful ignorance in the face of science and basic logic. I've had a lot of discussions with various groups, this is the same as the "plandemic" crowd. What do you say to people that refuse to learn science, have huge gaps in their logic, and default to "alternative facts" from dodgy websites whenever discussing anything?

The irony in the depth of your lack of intellectual self-awareness is something to behold.

You have no real answer so you hit up a thesaurus to try to come up with an insult that would make you sound clever.

Did you answer any of the points I raised about Iran? No. Did you double down on ideological blind loyalty to an empty slogan? Yes.

But, do go on.

As an aside, I'm also kind of surprised that anything I've written would make you have the thought of anyone turning to a thesaurus, but I'll happily simplify the vocabulary further if you would like.
