    People who are in an excited emotional state just aren’t going to do well thinking that stuff through.

    I’m not immune to it either, I just dont have tiktok or facebook at all to avoid it.

      i suppose so, but it literally only takes one “is this actually true?” to check to see if it’s true. If people are as “skeptical” as they claim to be about mainstream media, i fail to see how they don’t understand that google exists and is useful in the 21st century. Though to be fair, it’s harder to use now.

      I’m definitely not immune to it either, but i operate on a strictly factual basis, so it’s really hard for me to get caught up in propaganda.
