Saying that it’s okay for bonafide anti-intellectuals to meet the fate they’ve crafted for themselves despite all evidence is no sign of political inflammation. Be serious.
But that's what it looks and feels like. Partisan neener neener.
We don't withhold mercy because someone doesn't believe in receiving help, or because they play for the opposite "team". We do our best to help anyway.
A doctor doesn't withhold treatment because a patient believes God is responsible for healing them. We don't stop trying to eradicate Polio because people distrust vaccines. It can be a thankless uphill battle, but that's the human condition, and it's important to retain human empathy.
We shouldn't gloat when someone dies from Covid, just like we shouldn't gloat when someone dies from HIV AIDS. We're all in the human experience together, sharing this infinitesimal overlapping moment within the lightcone. It'll be easier to push together instead of treating everything as a tug of war. Sometimes that means being nice to people you disagree with.
