Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

I've seen this on National Geographic. Something about the natural thinning of the herds.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
