I gotta appreciate that my mom trusts my intelligence so when some weird as fuck QAnon type shit crosses hers or anyone else close to hers path she asks me about it and I can be like OH MY GOD NO and send like 4/5 sources that explain what I'm talking about because oh my god sometimes she sends me stuff and I don't even know where she GOT it or where whoever asked her about it got it but I assume it's plucked straight from the bowels of the most rancid Webbed Sites out there

#winters ramblings #the last thing she sent had shit had stuff even IVE never heard of amd i have a passing interest in conspiracy theories #like total word salad a buddy of hers found and sent to her being like ???? idk about this #and i was like SURE SHIT YEAH YOU SHOULD NOT BE SURE ABOUT ANY OF THAT WTF 5 minutes of googling found debunkings #the PROBLEM is that i actively TRIED to find atuff with good sources attached and if you have to make an effort #most people wont and thats not a slam I AM most people most of the time but also oh lort #i feel bad for media illiterate small town folk because theyre all smart people but theyre just NOT prepared #for a world where anyone can say anything when they arent well versed on sniffing out bullshit #or worse the bullshit is playing into previous misconceptions about A Thing or A Group
