You can choose whatever social group you want on social media. The days of physical presence and limited supply of peers are over.
Your IRL friends don't believe that the government is made up of lizard people? Go find yourself a Facebook, Telegram, Discord, etc. group, you will find plenty of like-minded people and "proof" there. People can and do survive on online contacts alone, so being shunned is not a problem for them. At least not in the medium term.
- TheParkShark 5y agoI appreciate the use of medium term in this context.

I found out that my brother was "going to do his own research" on the COVID-19 vaccines, which really is just code for, "I'm going to look online at sources in my echo chamber." (Because how many people really do their own research by talking with virologists, epidemiologists, etc.?) It wasn't until he had some social pressure and the death of two acquaintances that he decided it was important to go get vaccinated.
