Of course they're probably also likely to believe yesterday was staged.
Both of my older teens have asked me if I thought it was staged because all of their friends and social media are going with that explanation. Neither one of mine believe it as best as I can tell, but make no mistake that there are a crap ton of people who do.
The young and feebleminded have reached the limit of what their brain can process.
We are seeing people default into an explanation that they can accept.
In 2020 everybody knew that bat-soup was bs.
But people wanted to believe and you couldn't reason with 'em.
They were so desperate to believe that gaslit other you into thinking you were the problem.
Mass formation psychosis is the new normal.
Yup. Social media has allowed it. It's as simple as "you believe what you see." If all you see is social media feed being pumped into your brain from hours of screen content, then you will believe it. Especially over time.
Experience, walking outside, engaging with people, all changes your perspective for the best.
