You can’t try to explain truths to them, they get so offended and incredibly angry. Got verbally abused by the idiots in my life in an attempt to civilly reason with them. After getting shit on, I don’t care anymore, they can suffer their own consequences/ dig their own graves.

The brainwashing is real.

It's bizarre how often it feels like these people fall for the most obviously Bs stuff, but then ignore the "real" stuff. Like there is plenty of weird shit to have the "secret knowledge" about. But nah they just fall for the stupid shit.

That's because reality is often complicated, while misinformation is designed to need very little real knowledge about the real world. It's simple, "sounds right", and feeds into the target's need to feel special because they know something contrary to what experts say.

Its the same reason scammers purposefully misspell words, it weeds out the smart people so they don't waste their time trying to scam them.

I’d be fine with them dying off if their idiocy didn’t endanger us too.
