By anti-government, they mean opposed to the idea that government can do positive things for people, not opposed to the current government.

    Control the weather. Target individuals. How can anyone get this stupid?

    Most of the out-there conspiracy people just don’t understand something(in this case climate change), and invent/attached themselves to a fantasy where they’ve “seen through the lies” and everyone else is wrong. A lot of them actually know deep down that they’re wrong, but ironically they don’t want to be seen as stupid for admitting they don’t understand. That’s why they love using phrases that indicate non-believers are dumb, followers/sheep, or that deniers just don’t understand, etc.

    TL;DR: They’re too stupid to realize they’re acting stupid.
