What's this?

At this point in our two-year saga, you kind of just have to...

...leave the maskers, coronabros et al. behind as a lost cause. They didn't arrive at their beliefs using facts and logic, so they're not going to be persuaded to change their beliefs by facts and logic. They'll either snap out of their psychosis or they won't, but as long as they leave me alone, I don't care how they live their lives.

You mention "shaming and embarrassing" them, but is that even possible? I doubt it, and, if anything, it would be more likely to get them to double-down. Maybe better just to leave them alone to work things out for themselves.
