It's not just that people aren't applying rational thinking, it's that they don't *want* to. They actively gravitate to people & ideologies who give them permission not to.
Show PostI used to think, if we could get everyone to see the *patterns* in reactionary lies & manipulations, the way they're always the same, we'd be better at guarding against them. But I've lost that faith. On some level people *want* to shut their frontal cortexes down & wallow in monkey-brain shit.
