My dad's always been an anti-intellectual prick but now he's a smug one having his worst impulses reinforced by assholes on the internet and his workplace.

UFOs being occupied by aliens is an affront to mayos because it means there are more technologically advanced beings. This is why right wingers are increasingly anti--belief-in-aliens

Really?

Or they could pull an "Ancient Aliens" and just claim any other non-western civilization's technological innovations are made by those Ancient Aliens (notice how it's not really applied to western ones as much; this feels like how Hitler claimed his "own Aryan race" invented lots of these things in other lands)
