They are getting this from purposeful misinformation campaigns spread on social media. Same with flat earthers, Obama birthers, Anti-vaxxers, Etc. If it sounds completely unbelievable and ridiculous, it didn’t spread by people talking to people they know in person. That would be a sure fire way to become a pariah. No, this special kind of nonsense is spread by campaigns that look like legitimate news and research and the upvoting or otherwise relevancy-enhancing support of tens of thousands of bots. Rein in Social Media and fix a huge portion of the world’s Unnecessary problems.
