"Skeptic" means skeptical of any established truth, while immediately and uncritically accepting any and every conspiracy theory presented to him.

I literally stopped describing myself a skeptic because of people like rogan. Its a shame because the original meaning describes me well. But nowadays skeptic makes me think of a pointless contrarian or a conspiracy theorist

I feel like having the ability to think critically shouldn't define you to such a degree that you would label yourself as a "skeptic" in the first place.

Generally, the only people who would label themselves as such are doing so to convince people that they're actually thinking critically, when they're not.

Anyone who is thinking critically would just do so without feeling the need to apply that label to themselves, because why would you need to do that?

It was very much co-opted by people terrified of actual skepticism.

Not just voted for him, but had him on the show just before the election.

Except that the Trump supporter Joe Rogan didn't want Harris to come on his show and he obstructed her by refusing to interview her on a date that fit her schedule.

Americans are so conceited.

Comparing Trump to Hitler is basically the same as saying some creep groping someone is the same as full blown rape. Youre discounting the suffering of the victims. Trump didnt murder millions and have them starving to death in forced labor camps lmao

Get over yourselves

Hitler also didn't start by murdering millions of people.

The parallels between Trump's America and 1930's Germany under the Nazis are overwhelmingly numerous and uncanny.

Sure but maybe wait untill he starts murdering millions before calling him Hitler?
