    Ok, so there are two kinds of idiots.

    1. The idiot who actually doesn’t know any better. They are just following the misinformation wherever it goes because their friend on face book said it and they trust them or something like that. Unironically the bacteria is crunchy and good for you and the bad things aren’t real.
    2. The person you are talking about. The person who knows it is bad and knows what they are doing.

    There are only a few 2s, most are 1s. Like 1 “2” for every 100000 “1”.

    2s, as you have stated, don’t care. They know. They know their arguments are dumb and a misdirection. They will not engage with this meme, because they know what they are doing and they know it is wrong and they know that engaging with this will just out them and expose their bad takes.

    Even if you get rid of all the 2s, 1s will self perpetuate. So you really should target the 1s.

    The 1s are not aware of all of this 6d chess going on. So if you show them this meme, they are going to be confused because they have no problem with refrigeration and they are going to be mad because you are implying that they are dumb and you are not addressing their concerns. So they ignore us and don’t learn anything and we look like idiots. This is what the 2s want.

    The thing is, pasteurization is an easy win for us. No need to overcomplicate it. Just tell the 1s and 2s the truth. Otherwise we end up looking like we don’t have an argument by making up positions they don’t have. If the 2s pipe up, we have the data and “It’s your life, if you want to risk getting deadly diseases tuberculosis, brucellosis, and E. coli, that is your choice”. If they go farther you can just say they are in a death cult, it’s easily winnable even if you are an ok debater.

    Honestly the 1s are looking at this meme and must think it is some other group that is being targeted because they have no problems with refrigeration so this post is like 99% of people who agree with each other patting each other on the back. Fun, but not productive.

      [citation needed], But that doesn’t even matter.
      The meme would be confused to the “1” idiots, yes. And that’s a good thing. Confusion is a brain activity, it’s an uncomfortable state of mind, and it demands answers. It might provoke some thoughts or urge to research something to resolve. It might not. In which case it’s a meme on the internet with the power and purpose of every other meme on the internet.
      And if the person is too stupid to have the productive confusion, well, maybe not everything on the internet should be targeted exclusively to the lowest information bacteria.

        Are you trolling me? Do you really believe what you just posted?

        Why not just meme all republicans like to eat babies? I am sure that will confuse a lot of them and that confusion will uhh, be really funny I guess, and that funny will uhh, improve the situation somehow?

        You’re being ridiculous.
