They might get a clue if you show them rock-solid evidence about something then tell them to comment about it on a mainstream news site. Then watch their faces when their own comment is deleted within minutes.
Some people in my circle have tried that, but their reaction has been more of a 'huh..' than a 'wtf?!', so not too sure how effective it is - they are still afraid of being shunned of the platforms or IRL.
If they are afraid of what people think of them who they have never met, then they will always be swayed by what they perceive as "public opinion." That is the definition of sheeple, who will be fleeced again and again until they are led to the slaughterhouse. Sorry man
Yea, it's a hard pill to swallow when you're dealing with people you care about.
Really appreciate the feedback in this thread though.
Good idea, but do any msm news sites still allow comments?
Dunno. Gave up trying years ago
