conservatives also fall for scams very easily because of this, plus they believe in conspiracies quite alot, in unhealthy amounts. basically conservatives also believe in thier own BS too, thats why you can never argue with them to change thier minds on most things.
It’s like playing chess with a pigeon.
oftentimes they are being purposefully disingenuous. i saw a braindead comment earlier where there was some yahoo saying that timothy meveigh was a left wing extremist and then like 20 comments after it agreeing and elaborating. not one person said anything about it clearly being false. they do this because its 100% impossible to argue with someone like that, because the basis of the argument has no basis in reality. also, it is in order to retroactively flip the perception of events via very dull type people reading it, believing it, and signal boosting it so that it propagates organically. they love to spread incredibly massive amounts of mis and disinfo because it is a very easy way to radicalize dull people. I see stuff multiple times per day, every single day where they are saying some shit that they can not possibly believe to be true. they are just trying to change narratives and perceptions of reality. which is why they detest education. they loooooooove dull people. which is why everyone on the right has a conspiracy theory webpage that like 7 people on the planet visit, but all 7 swear that it is the ultimate truth.
Oh and if someone does argue and say that's untrue, the entire group jumps on that person calling them brainwashed, a sheep, etc. and the fact thar someone replied in the first place only boosts the algorithm and gets it seen by more people. any engagement is good engagement, as far as algorithmic content is concerned. they actually pretty masterfully designed this. it's clever as hell, and it's very insidious. i mean fuck those guys seriously but their masters really did game the algorithm and the false info game masterfully.
there are tons of insidious little tricks like that which are developed by the party itself then pushed to their people. Like how they said for decades that they were going to be protection from a tyrannical government, only to rise up recently, work with and infiltrate the federal government and eventually attempt to overthrow the fed via coup. the thing about protection from government was all a lie in order to hide their true intentions to the masses, and now several militials have infiltrated ICE. that lie worked for decades. while THEY are generally braindead, the people who basically control them are not.
It all circles back to the mistake that was corporate social media and enragement-boosting. They made the system to get people addicted, but without considering, or outright ignoring, the cost.
