a big reason covid misinfo has been so successful imo is that most people simply believe in capitalism.

to understand, let alone question, why covid misinfo is so readily promulgated by mainstream Democrats and their media, you have to understand that regardless of where this set lands on culture wars, they are fundamentally faithful to the current capitalist order.

if you accept the implicit hierarchy of capital, all the Covid myths make sense because they serve that order
