So you're also a flat-earther, anti-vaccine, and anti-science? If you trust scientific data as little as toilet paper in a public restroom, and peer reviewed data, then you're clearly not interested in the pursuit for truth at all. So what are you arguing if not for your fairy tales? The thing about truth is it's uniting, they're agreed upon facts of reality determined by evidence and data, like forensics in a murder investigation. It allows us to not only understand what is happening in the world around us, but also set aside our differences and celebrate them. The mindset that will, as you say, never get along with others is those with the mindset that is against truth - aka you.
It doesn't seem to take much.
Truth is subjective.
It's really not though. The sky is blue, the earth is round, WW2 happened, and there was no so-called 'Agricultural Revolution' that mechanically led to urban development.
