Excellent article, and I couldn't agree more!

Conspiracy theory becomes conspiracy reality: I like that...

I'm approaching 70, and wear my anti-vaxxer, climate denier badges proudly.

When challenged, I have the proof in front of me.

I no longer try to convince others, as that is usually pointless.

So I don't.

I'm glad you found it relatable. Wear those badges unapologetically, for when we go silent the mind viruses spread!

Is it sheep or sheeple that is objectionable?

Sheep can't help being sheep.

Sheeple can stop being willfully ignorant and naive.

Indeed. I believe it was 'sheep'. The expression has been used since the beginning of time to describe the acquiescent.

Probably because sheep are among the most acquiescent as pure herbivores.
