I am not surprised it comes from him, but what has really saddened me lately is I heard the same kind of rhetoric from a friend who I thought was understanding of how far we have come. He whispered his own fear that Indigenous people would come for settlers.
I was left speechless. I still can't process how he rationally came to that conclusion and can only assume it is because of hours upon hours of being exposed to racist bullshit on Facebook, Twitter, or wherever.
Based on new data, I've changed my mind about the belief that "People don't change their minds based on new data."🙂🙃
My previous belief was based on the great research on the "backfire effect," done by Brendan Nyhan in 2010. But in 2020, Brendan did new research, showing that he was wrong about people not changing their minds.🙃🙂

He showed that presenting the right data the right way, does cause people to change their minds. This was the right data and way for me.

As a cult researcher, I've found that trust is the #1 factor in what people believe. Including us. Who do you trust and why? is the core question of what you will end up believing.
I've been experimenting with asking questions to indoctrinated family and strangers online (as my health allows), instead of arguing and fact checking. Asking questions promotes critical thinking in them and forces them to face aspects of their reasoning they might not have considered. I've also been drilling down into base values and getting them to apply their values to their political conclusions.
But really, "Why do you trust that media outlet? Why do you trust your religious leaders?" these are central to their end conclusions. Con games are games of confidence - winning someone's trust. As you sat, it always boils down to that.
I think the only way to get them to question the veracity of those sources is to ask them what they think. That way, they think it through themselves.
"Never believe anything until the Kremlin denies it."
Peskov also denied Woodward's claim that Trump and Putin have spoken on the telephone several times since Trump left office. “No, that’s not true,” he told Russian outlet RBC.

I finished my latest cross-stitch project. I think it turned out adorable despite changing just about all the colors in the original pattern. Found another Halloween design I'm going to try before I get into the more complex patterns.

in reply to Anarchic Teapot ⚧️ • • •Are you telling me that oatmeal, porridge, and gruel ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME? Every book I’ve read that describes gruel as the cruel, vile, disgusting dish is just…watery oatmeal?
I feel misled, nay, betrayed by book authors everywhere. I demand that all books issue a retraction immediately — “oh yeah, it was just oatmeal (laughs) we just like that gruel rhymes with cruel.”
Next you’ll say “overnight oats” aren’t a thing. Nonsense.
