    aka information silos

    It’s a real problem. And the scary part is that if somone told you that most of the info you see everyday was lacking, manipulated or flat out lies, would you believe them or double down?

      I’m wrong all the time. Anyone who never admits to being wrong is an idiot. That’s a person that never learns anything. I just want solid proof.

      Although it would take a metric fuck ton of proof to believe that conservatives are anything but parasite and idiots, because I’ve witnessed soooo much greed and ignorance first hand.

      But there are definitely things that I’ve been manipulated into believing that aren’t true. Police are good. Anything with the recycling logo will get recycled if I put it in the right bin. Roundabouts are stupid.

      I try my best to learn from my mistakes, and to be wary of propaganda and gossip disguised as facts that I want to believe.
