Selective skeptics: Deniers, pseudo-scientists, etc.
Enviado: Ter, 24 Março 2026 - 22:10 pm
A while back, while still on Clubecetico, I recommended a channel by an atheist, Vinicius César.
He has good videos when it comes to religious disbelief. But when it comes to political ideological bias (on his other channel), he becomes passionate, a biased and selective skeptic.
Some examples of his attitudes:
- Denying global warming without any real knowledge, only using the opinion of "Ricardo Felício," a dissenting voice among several scientists in the same field;
- Antagonizing environmentalism for political ideological reasons (the post below is an example);
- He loves to criticize the state and pass himself off as a libertarian anarcho-capitalist, but only speaks out against the state when there are left-wing people in government, a convenient anarcho-capitalist, when someone like Bolsonaro is in power he says something like "He's not perfect but he's the best we have," even criticizing Rafael from Idéias Radicais because he didn't support or want to participate in the march against the Supreme Court;
- He even denied the Holocaust, saying it was the Holodomor that the Soviets inflicted on Ukrainians or something like that;
- He even said in a live broadcast that people suffered from Covid because they no longer exercised and that all they had to do was eat kale and get some sun (for vitamin D), and other simplistic and common-sense ideas of that kind.
