I see this quite frequently in finance (what with the cryptocurrency zealots) and those who invest in penny stocks... and of late, those going out to protest vaccinations in front of hospitals in Canada.
I mean, what the living fuck, give me meat, porn, beer and a comfy couch, and I don't have much reason to move from that, but I digress... going out to protest or thinking that their 'idea' will save the world from itself when they can't explain basic economic or medical concepts? How much glue they been huffing?

EDIT: also adding the 'tax the rich to the nth degree' lot to the above list - 'do you understand the concept of mobility of capital?'

Once the flat-earthers explain who turns off the light every night, I might start listening...
