i think ppl want to tell themselves that my situation wrt to conspiracy theories is like... abnormal? when I feel like my experiences were kind of the average for regular people stuffed in the pipeline... I dont think people want to confront how normalized it is that even average unsuspecting left leaning people can fall into it, I mean clearly it didn't take a lot for yall to fall into it either- maybe instead of acting like people are inherently impure bc they got wrapped up in conspiracy theories we need to recon with and accept the fact that the alt right pipeline is a well oiled machine that knows how to suck in even the most self proclaimed left leaning person just because they dont know better. this is a matter of lack of education, lack of a warning that someone might try to convince you of this, what the warning signs are, what the dog whistles are, etc. I don't think ppl falling for conspiracy theories are exceptionally bigoted like a lot of people need to tell themselves, I just think ignorance or "not knowing better", if that sounds nicer to you, is just really fuckin easy to manipulate, esp in this situation.
#mood#left leaning ppl know antisemitism is bad. they know dogwhistles are bad. they know nazis are bad. they dont know why though#and that leaves you wide open and susceptible to any conspiracy theory.#this is why you have to research shit. if you feel like you might end up 'convinced' by the other side that says a lot about you as a#person for one but also i think that means you need to read about it even more so you can figure out why its wrong.#you gain critical thinking and analysis skills when you actually Know the bullshit and are able to deconstruct it.#you have to be able to argue against it yourself. otherwise yeah- its really easy to get sucked into. *motions to most of tumblr* clearly.#more than just knowing the arguments for and against it actually reasoning about it with yourself in your head will reveal a lot about you#to yourself and what you've been allowing or dismissing or enabling or whatever.#imagine you're like. a war general or something and have to make decisions regarding this and keep being fed false info and correct info#YOU need to use your critical thinking skills to figure out what the best outcome is. likely- if you're not in the tankie cult- you'll#probably recognize that the less deaths the better. the less hatred spewed and pushed around the better.#if you ACTUALLY give af about humanity you will choose the option that hurts humanity the least. and to be clear to some of yall#yeah. jewish people count as humans too in this you scumbag fuck.
