I don’t see where those who disagree with local memes are being accused of insanity, and not noticing something like that scares me. Could you please point out where it’s happening?

To be fair to Lumifer, that comment now has zero karma, and US conservatives plausibly are a group of “people who disagree with local memes”, given that they’re in a tiny minority here (about 2%; in the 2012 survey there were 20 self-identified US conservatives, out of 1001 responses giving both a country and a political alignment).
