Someone (who chose not to be tagged in this post) asked this question:

How are some of us aware and appalled that this (misinformation) is happening and others just go all in with the conspiracies?

What do you all think? What makes the difference?

Please refrain from just calling people stupid, I know it can definitely feel that way, but we can do better than that.

Education? I suspect recent governments focus on SATs and easily quantifiable tasks has had a negative effect on stuff like critical thinking, creativity and individuality. It seems as if too many people are trained to learn 'facts' and regurgitate them without questioning if they actually are facts or propaganda.
