> Where we all used to roll our collective eyes at "conspiracy theories" like the faked moon landing, now its what "the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear" and you have to "think for yourself" by researching random youtube videos.. even when it's being widely covered in the same media. It's hard to take the mainstream media seriously anymore, after they spent years pushing their own preferred debunked conspiracy theories. And that doesn't necessarily mean random videos on the Internet are preferable either. Really it's just sad. Our basis for understanding and believing "facts" has evaporated. It's an epistemological dilemma. There are no facts anymore, just "alternative facts," narratives, and a choose-your-own-reality mindset pushed both by postmodernists and individuals commonly dismissed as the "far right."
