Tell that to Q-anon or anyone whose sense of self-worth is derived from being able to see 'The Truth'.

I will happily tell any q-anon devotee that their opposition to the 'main narrative' is not not valuable and they are not closer to the truth for it. It may be a mentality from which they derive a sense of self-worth, but that does not make it a net positive influence on their own lives or society generally. Delusion is perhaps the worst way to derive a sense of self-worth.
I woke up this morning still angry about a “discussion” I had with an denialist nutbag and this was my first thought when I read that comment.
