A phrase that I rarely, to the point of never, hear is: "I was wrong." Followed by "Here's why, and how I realized..."
Seriously, think about the last time you said this. About a position you consider contrary to your worldview. Not deeper into it -- a total, come about engines full scenario.
I've had a lot of those, especially in the past two years.
It's been hard to try and put those together into a cogent worldview, and mandated that I offer up some apologies to people whom I had been rude to in the past. Not to mention having to deadline more than a few people that booked a one-way flight to Nutsoland.
And no, I am not referring to the "medical freedom" crowd. Pure propaganda to label them as "anti-vaxxers" when they have literally every standard vaccine on the pre-COVID schedule. I can get along with these folks, even where we disagree (If you're over 50 or have a risk factor, especially obesity, you probably want the jab). But I respect their right to choose.
The "if you don't get the shot, you don't deserve to have a bank account, or a job, or the ability to travel" crowd are full-bore Nazis and don't even realize it.
