- Spivak 2y agoYou have to be careful with that kind of logic because you can accidentally convince yourself to believe anything with it. Sometimes even true things. You'll find this logic in every mainstream conspiracy group because it works so well for dismissing anything that disagrees with the conspiracy. This is word for word what racists believe— that black people are interior, they have data to show it, and that political correctness is keeping people from admitting this truth inconvenient to their ideology.
