In Reply to: How to kill off conspiracy theories? So many die-hard believers! posted by vacuous on November 10, 2020 at 14:54:57:
It all starts with a grain of truth and a narrative.
I notice that your examples are right wing conspiracies. But the left does that same and the media calls one unfounded while the other is trumpeted as a BIG problem, like the fact that right wingers are bigots, white supremacists and homophobic and xenophobic. Oh, and anti-science, fascists.
There is a real problem with critical thinking these days. You can't trust what you read on the internet and some go over the deep end. My sister in law is just nuts. She believes that my 90 year old father in law really only has the flu and not COVID as it was a false positive test because COVID is a hoax.
Thankfully, Ray is doing well and had mild symptoms. His 89 year old wife didn't seem to even get it after a few weeks.
