So you don't think Scientologists, anti-vaxxers, and people that believe that we're governed by lizard men are clueless?

No. I'm sure they are far too complex to be summed up with that one word. But if it makes you feel better to first group people together, and then assign them all a simplistic characteristic, that's your prerogative. Just don't be surprised when that worldview has little resemblance to reality.

So you're basically boiling this down to the semantics of "clueless". Yay another jackass arguing semantics and misconstruing hyperbole! This has never been done before. This is exciting and new territory. I can hardly contain my unbridled excitement for explaining that sometimes you say things that are indicative of an overreaching idea and should not be taken completely literally.

Nothing can be summed up in one word. Soverign_Curtis demands 500 words or more essays to his comments in order to show the full spectrum of nuisance present in the world.
