  • Some of us are bombarded by right wing propaganda off the internet. When I come home, I don’t want to be bombarded by it online. You want to know what radicalized me? Being “conservative presenting” and getting to hear what republicans really think when there’s not a minority or “liberal” in the room. None of them have a single idea of their own and just revel in cruelty. That’s what they think offline and when they think they’re in “good company.” Online, they just engage in bad faith arguments and it gets tiring counting them constantly.













  • My boomer parents are lead infested and can’t do mental math worth a damn.

    And it is important to memorize facts instead of looking them up every time because “true facts” become interconnected. You can find any info you want, true or false, but only true facts are interconnected. I recently had someone pull the “democrats supported slavery and the KKK” fact, which is historically true, but ignores that the republicans switched to supporting the bigots when the democrats starting supporting civil rights.

    You actually need to retain information and be able to process that information to inoculate against misinformation.
