    It was true before the internet too, there was just less opportunities to witness it because you didn’t interact with thousands of strangers at once.

      Well… Yeah that probably checks out. I have met an engineer who was sure 9/11 was planned demolition even though we literally sat and did the math to prove it was essentially a damaged free fall with no outer explosions… And a biologist major who believed in creationism…

      People are full of bad takes in shocking hypocrisy. This is definitely just the more public long lasting version of all those.
