    Two years later he admitted that maybe there was something about climate change nowadays…

    At least they changed their mind (a little bit). I think this is a huge part of the problem: admitting an error and being supported for that admission is something that is frowned upon in certain groups. I think toxic masculinity plays one big factor here. Admitting errors is seen as “not masculine”, especially within conservative groups.

      it’s frown upon by every group.

      nice way to blame ‘masculinity’ though. as of women or something don’t do that shit.

        I am not sure where your defensive reaction comes from, but please read something about toxic masculinity before being so vocal about your opinion. Toxic masculinity can be reinforced by all genders and all genders can be victims.

        And admitting your own errors is definitely not equally seen in different groups.
