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.
@RickiTarr A therapist once told me that sometimes you "want" to believe something but you know you "shouldn't" and a conspiracy theory gives you an excuse to believe it.
That dissonance of wanting/shouldn't is often masking a deeper understanding of your own responsibility that you are trying to avoid.
Of course they all say stuff like that to get you to go more 🙂
