I swear the only way to get ppl to take facts seriously is going to be by presenting them as conspiracies at this point
America (western culture in general?) is quite literally reverting to superstition based analysis, all vibes no critical reasoning.
Yeah and conspiracies are literally all pervasive at this point. I think covid isolation pushed ppl online a lot more and broke a whole lot of brains
