Probably not actually a hot take but oh well lol. Misinformation is harmful especially when it comes to the radicalisation of people into hateful beleifs. We all know misinfo influences elections whether its the simple act of charlie kirk parrotting the false talking point of studies on transgender mice to try and drum up outrage in his 'anti-woke' audience and clown on the left and say oh this is ridiculous etc even after he was called out that it was false. Or even worse Joe Rogan promoting the false narrative that transgender people are dangerous and at a greater risk of becoming a school shooter and then wrapping that up in a dangerous spout of words which once again exist to drum up outrage against trans people and score more useless culture war points. The worst part is that even tho these things are false they seep into the consciousness of people who consume these lies without any fact checking and breed hatred and leads to more division and eventually violence.
Agreed, that misinformation is one of the biggest threat to society. Mister information should keep her under his control for real!!
Ok
Not to society but to us as humans
It goes both ways though whether you’re left or right
The amount of ways that the news were twisting trumps words out of context was alarming
Is water wet 😭
What?
It could destroy life's
Wdym not to society but us a humans tho
Like i feel like it very mucy is a threat to society
Look a societies get destroyed and it's not something new and one is destroyed another is created but if it was a human it could lead him to death and ut happens all the time
Ur talking as if societies ans humans arent linked at all
Yah but that's my point a human is linked to society
It's not "misinformation" just because you don't like what it is that is being said. Usually if you think that way, you're far beyond radicalised
I mean the two examples i gave where definitely examples of people spreading misinformation as they were making claims that arent true
Ok, and why not talking about the recent bullshit AOC said about "blacks that created democracy". That is rewriting history and spreading misinformation too, isn't it?
I mean first of all misinfo is bad no matter where in the political aisle it comes from. Second of all im glad u can admit u got it wrong when u were accusing me of claiming rogan and kirk were spreading misinfo in the examples i listed as claiming they were spreading misinfo because i 'disagreed' with them. Also wasnt AOCs point not in reference to the democracy in america and how black americans helped shape modern day american democracy. Taking that out of context to try and frame her for saying somwthing obviously ridiculous is ironically misinformation lol
Oh, so now you do realize that taking things out of context os misinformation. Strange, it didn't apply to Kirk every time you people cited him
Ppl will always take things out of context on basically anything, also ppl may speak in 'half-truths'
Sometimes what they may say is also 'truthful' yet ignores/ leaves out vital info abt wtvr topic they're talking abt
True
