gollark: Yes, I just haven't seen any.
gollark: I mostly assume they blatantly lie about things like... the effect of policies, or what they plan to do, but not about things like the entire shape of the earth.

gollark: It's quite easy to see that the earth flatness is wrong, unlike with religion, so I may look down on people who hold *that* belief.
gollark: I aim to avoid mocking the *people* holding beliefs, since it is quite easy to fall into traps of unfalsifiable stupid beliefs and they can't really be blamed for it, but the beliefs are totally fair game.
