This skepticism and cynism is like acid where lies don't survive. It's really hard to push typical corp bs when people who 2x smarter than you (but maybe not as socially aware) are allowed to pick the lies apart and expose their logical inconsistences. Liars don't like to look like fools in public. Sometimes this acid burns well meaning people, but it's a small and acceptable price to pay.

On the contrary, the hardest skeptics and cynics will often buy into conspiracy theories and propaganda simply because they can't allow themselves to accept a status quo narrative under any circumstance, which makes them no more capable of discerning truth (or dismantling lies with their acid wit) than people who only trust the status quo.
