Pretty much. I’ve even heard professors teaching classes where they told people only to use good sources, which they defined as ones that were not right wing. The argument itself was a left-wing argument. They literally told the students to only trust the sources that agreed with them.

Had a conversation with one lefty guy one time, and any time I brought up something he said that was factually just wrong, he always asked where I got that information. If the source of the information wasn’t something like CNN, he didn’t believe it. It’s kind of sad really. A lot of this stuff you can factually still look up if you know how to not just read a headline from CNN.

A lot of media outlets are also gaslighting people openly now, like the NY Times. Jan 6 came up with one guy and I said the only person that died there that day was one of the protestors it would seem, who the cops/security shot. He disagreed and said hundreds of people died. I said they weren’t even armed. He said they all had guns. I asked him for the names of the people that died. If you looked on the NY Times, by then they’d rolled things back and had info on around 6 guys that had strokes or killed themselves the following die, but the protestors didn’t kill anybody, which they didn’t directly state. That’s not what they were telling people before.

Same with the Rittenhouse thing. I made a joke about it to one guy and he said ‘fuck that guy’. I asked why, and he said for shooting all those black people. The people he shot in self-defense weren’t even black. It’s all on camera. It’s super creepy to see what people are willing to believe.

Another guy was going to break up with his GF for not wanting the vax because his mom was sick and he didn’t want her to get Covid. I said if it makes him feel better, her getting the vax wouldn’t stop her transmitting Covid, so it wouldn’t really affect that part of it. People are willing to believe anything when they’re scared and busy. We wouldn’t even be able to know how well the shots did for like 20 years after the fact anyway since it takes that long to test and do all this stuff legitimately.
