The 5th problem is that a broad general understanding is necessary to identify when clearly verified information, is still misinformation.
The first thing the Q handlers told them all was "to do your own research" and then led them to research exclusively their own little nonsense part of the Internet. Thru this entire process people are gas lot and manipulated in about every possible way to get the person to accept the sources for their "research discoveries" as actual sources for legitimate information.
It tricks them into thinking they are smart. It's hard to lie to someone that knows the truth - it's why smart people seem so arrogant. If they have concluded something is true, its more likely is than isn't.
Smart people that know stuff also, place the burden of proof on anyone that challenges their beliefs or understandings - that's difficult to combat with knowledge. Trumpers are like tricked into that misunderstanding of their perception of reality. All the echo chambers echoed, so it must be true, and so people then defend to the bitter endz false beliefs, accepted bc of fake information, deliberately placed where they could "independently discover it"
That's really to combat bc the information isn't real. Hard to counter a belief about something that isn't true but is the stated reason for other terrible ideas.
- kelipso 2y agoMy point being that this same process can be true for the accusers as well, with the only difference being that the accusers have institutional support. Is the primary criterion that a disputed fact is true whether the fact has institutional support? In order to "combat misinformation", are we going to select a bunch of oracles in institutions and have them decide what the truth is? (These are rhetorical questions, btw.)
