I also endorse pretty much everything in this comment.
(Except for the bit about the “avoid paying your taxes” post, because I don’t even remember that one.)
To emphasize this point: in many cases, the problem with some “weird ideas” isn’t, like, “oh no, this is too weird, I can’t even, don’t even make me think about this weird stuff :(”. It’s more like: “this is straightforwardly dumb and wrong”. (Indeed, much of the time it’s not even interestingly wrong, so it’s not even worth my time to argue with it. Just: dumb nonsense, already very well known to be dumb nonsense, nothing new to see or say, downvote and move on with life.)
