My larger point is that people who cannot distinguish between reality and not-reality are an extreme drag on a society as they require others to think for them.

Such people shouldn't be on social media and shouldn't be voting... it's how we end up with the politicians in office that we have now. People who have a solid grasp on reality and their own convictions won’t be swayed by online activists whether they are flesh and blood or bits and bytes.
