Yours reminds me of Rostislav, a colleague, denying Kiev being bombarded weeks after Putin's invasion of Ukraine. He kept saying, it is all propaganda spun by agents of war in salivation posture.
Trying to interact with some is like dealing with obtuse mandarin on a drizzly day. On sSpot, here is how a typical encounter would unfold between a SL native (Lander), and a regular nomad:
Nomad: Lovely day: sunny, and warm.
Lander: Did you say warm?
Nomad: Yes, nice & warm, and the sun is up.
Lander: Where is this sun 'object' you speak of. What is correlation between the 'sun', and 'warmth'?
Nomad: 'There it is', pointing to the sun up in the sky, with a full thrust of the arm, as if it one could miss it.
Lander: 'What are you pointing at, there is nothing to see - do not hurt yourself, and stop gyrating. Where is the proof heat emanates from the sun? '.
Nomad: 'Is that not proof enough; besides, there is scientific evidence, not to mention verses from Furqan'.
Lander: 'It all bogus. I am going to await Dajal al Awar to see it for myself'.
Nomad: Befuddled, nomad retreats, as if a truant tortoise in trance; unable to process the interaction, he flags another nomad to bear witness to his biting bane, only for the other nomad to begin blinking as if touched by a blighty rod, moving away stunned before tripping into a pit forehead first.
And there, the canary in the coalmine cues the crowd!
