Would you prefer to live in a world without antibiotics?

No but people should really stop abusing OTC antibiotics like Neosporin. You don't have to put it on every wound.

Yes but there's no reason to snark about a new class of antibiotics unless you think they shouldn't be used at all.

I tend to have wounds scab into the dressing which sucks because it rips out when you change it. Which is why I got vitamin E gel for those times I don't need an antibiotics. The capsules are also more convenient to carry around than a tube and take virtually no space in a bag/kit.

IMO, the lack of ability for nuance is a sign of low intelligence.

There was no nuance in what you posted. Being a dick about it is a sign of low emotional intelligence. As is responding with a Star Wars quote that implies anyone saying it is a Sith.

This is a flat out lie. The fact that people are upvoting it is very depressing. It's disappointing to see that people on lemmy aren't any smarter than people on reddit.
