The backfire effect. Hold on tight to attachments to falsity and reject facts that contradict attachments.
Exactly. Just followed ya and left you a reply on one of your posts. Good stuff. Looking forward to more.
People don't want to believe that people so sinister run the country. Yesterday, my girlfriend was saying that Abraham Lincoln was a good president. I told her that he wasn't, and she said he freed the slaves! I told her that he was racist as shit and didn't give a shit about black people. She didn't believe me, so I showed her this great HighImpactFlix video about him and she didn't want to watch it! She didn't want to believe that he was a horrible president! I explained to her that it is important to know the truth, even if it is really unpleasant. That's basically why people don't question 9/11. They don't want to know...
Thank you @charlie.wilson It is very sad that people want the comforting lie instead of the harsh truth. Just followed ya man. Peace.
Thanks a lot! That is really cool! You may see some of your own videos on my page. I like to share things I really like, and I'm sort of a fan!
Nice to see you here on Steemit. I blog mostly about vaccines and the huge lie surrounding them, mostly how unsafe they are. I am encouraged by a mostly positive response here on Steemit, but there are many people who get so angry and upset just because you question vacccination. I have even been flagged a few times here because people think that I am spreading "dangerous" information. It is sad that they won't open their minds more on the subject.
Keep up your good work of making people think and question everything.
