Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Person 1: "I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but I really disagree with that rant you posted yesterday."

Panel 2: Person 2: "Oh, I don’t mind. I’ve started perceiving disagreement with my political views as psychological pathology!"

Panel 3: Person 2: "By interpreting disagreement as derangement, I can write off entire regions of mental possibility while simultaneously imagining myself to be considering all views as objectively as possible!"

Panel 4: Person 2: "Best of all, I can tell myself I’m being sympathetic to you while actively ignoring your perspective and implying that you’re too stupid to assess your own mental processes!"

Panel 5: Person 1 (slightly confused): "You said the moon landing was a hoax perpetrated by lizard people."

Person 2: "Who hurt you, Dave? You can confide in me."
