just gonna come out and say it: vulnerable people are always the most susceptible to propaganda, misinformation, and conspiracy, especially in times of cultural anxiety, and if there is a way to help them out of these traps, targeted self-righteous vilification isn’t it

the best way to reach vulnerable people who wholeheartedly believe they know the "truth" is by consistently sharing evidence-based information with the intent of helping, not disparaging. they already have a compelling story; they need to be told one that is better and more true

leading propagandists and conspiracy theorists need to be directly challenged, but many of their followers are just victims of circumstance who were exploited. they still have a chance to leave their group *if* they feel welcomed into a new group of those reaching out

when we hear people’s concerns over the current economic devastation, skepticism toward politicized media narratives, or any other signs of vulnerability, we need to listen and form solidarity with them before some charismatic propagandist or fringe group does steak-umm bless

I've never heard of your product before but after reading this I think I'll go fill me up a grocery cart full. And leave it sitting in an undisclosed location at the grocery store.

This tweet contains a hint of a reason backed by at least some research. Some portion who cling to nonsense are not desperate vulnerable people reachable with polite contact (though they probably exist too), but rather are d-bags who want to feel special.https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-30136-003 …

This is exactly what I was trying to describe to someone recently. "I know what's really going on, but the SHEEPLE don't. They just believe what the TV tells them." Skepticism is good but it has to be logical skepticism.
