If you flip flop your beliefs, then you don’t believe in anything, just following the trend. Call people “brainwashed” for refusing to change, but at least they have a ground they firmly stay on. Not to mention people finding random articles online and use them to “debunk” other people’s beliefs. If things were that simple, certain beliefs would not had survived through out the years.
- blix 5y agoSome time ago, there was a story where an alt-right 4chan troll woke up one day, converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State. I'm not sure what trend that flip-flop is following. Debunking articles exist to reaffirm the beliefs of the debunkers, not to change minds. In the face of a flood, choosing to firmly stay on low ground is a poor choice, but societally we place such a high value on ideological constancy that it often leads to dubious choices.
