"It's on the internet so, it must be true. "


‎"It's on the internet so, it must be true. "

It's this kind of thinking that promotes ignorance. Ignorance does not protect you from anything. All it does is make you complacent and compliant with stupidity.

Before you go and post that link about the new threat that's facing our freedom, our wholesome lifestyle, our 'merica, think about it. Do some research. The internet is a slough of misinformation. If there is some basis in truth, then filter out the lies before you post. Verify that what you have read is a fact. Otherwise you're just promoting the mental pollution that is rife in this digital age.

You think you're a leader by "informing" us but you're a sheep. And, your shepherd is a fear mongering Luddite who's likely a step away from senility.

You have a mind. Most would assume so at least. So, use it. Investigate. Discern. Discriminate. Ascertain. Verify.

Promoting hoaxes benefits no one.
