They're also quite emotional. I don't go to the AskCons subreddit anymore because they start pouting and throwing tantrums when you bring up evidence or ask for it. They also go on random tangents that have nothing to do with what you said, and act like you're dumb for not getting their word salad
I blame a lot of it on them growing up before the internet. I grew up in the 90s, and while the internet already existed, you didnât really fact check with it as it was too slow and clunky. So we just believed whatever our parents told us, didnât matter if it was true or false.
But then the iPhone and smartphones came along, and when our parents would tell us something, suddenly we could pull out this little rectangle and tell them they were full of shit.
Then Trump comes along and basically tells them whatever they wanted to hear. That if they didnât like something, they could just call it âfake newsâ and continue to live in their own reality. Suddenly they felt like they had their power back, disinformation was back. And now? God forbid you try to disprove any of their bullshit.
