Good reminder that the media is full of lies, and that "social media" is even WORSE than old media.
The dumbing-down effect is incredible.
COVID was bad. Really bad.
The Russian war is even worse. (The MAGA/Q-anon clowns don't even get the chronology REMOTELY right.)
I'm not sure it CAN get worse than disinformation related to the Russo-Ukrainian War, but we'll see where the current Hamas-Israel conflict goes...
When truth goes away, the masses DON'T become skeptical. Quite the contrary - they start believing in ANYTHING.
"Troofers" are more gullible than "sheeple".
(That's not to say BIG MEDIA is trustworthy. But they lie in a completely different way.)

Jordan Peterson is a man buckbroken by his own character flaws. His lust for adulation, prestige, wealth, acceptance, authority... unharnessed by any identity to which they could be devoted, these traits instead transformed him into a willing tool of the powerful, making mincemeat of his integrity and a slave of his mind. Now a drug-addled zombie stumbling around the ruins of what he could have achieved, he is a perfect example of what every man should want never to become: a slave who lies on command, wishing most desperately that he could lie to himself.
