I had a very stupid drawn out internet argument with an Australian fellow on a message board I frequent a couple years ago that consisted with him essentially getting all worked up and calling me an idiot because I was an American who didn't think that the Donald was the absolute, horrid end of the world and didn't want to get up in arms about it. Half of the argument boiled down to "1. There isn't much I can really do about it anyway, yeah he's a dummy but I have more important and especially more local and relevant to me things to worry about and 2. Why on earth do you care, you don't even live here?"
Irritatingly someone else bumped the thread a couple weeks ago to gloat about how he was happy 'all those other people I don't agree with are leaving california' and gloat about his new electric car and how great it was. Australian dude didn't skip a beat to gloat about his electric car and how apparently his regurgitation of marketing material for it meant that I was '100% totally wrong' in a comment about the unfeasibility of transitioning the entire grid to them I made like...2 years ago.
I thought about replying, but then remembered that arguing with sanctimonious idiots on the internet is a waste of mental power so I just ignored him.
