I've seen enough people fall into this trap where they correctly identify the out of control corruption and destruction of our current economic system and therefore conclude that QAnon must be the objective truth. How they go from A to conclude B on this one? I have no idea. There-in lies the issue with all these disinformation campaigns. We live in hypernormal times and few are equipped to make sense of it.

Strawman, I never mentioned QAnon.

EDIT: no, there are not "few" equipped. Because no one knows who is lying NO ONE is equipped.

Knowing that means you are equipped. I wasn't aiming the QAnon thing at you. I agree in general with your comments but know they must be qualified with the fact that you are discrediting all sources of information until you learn more. A healthy scepticism is essential to navigate this world.
