It could work but it also fuels their conspiracy theory tendencies
If there was a way to poison their conspiracies to get them out of believing conspiracy theories that would be a better way of doing things
Poison is sinister. How about microdosing reality?
This'll only happen once education is restructured almost entirely. Critical Thinking has not been on the menu for a long time (if ever), and it's not in the interest of the Powers That Be to increase critical thinking in individuals - people who really think tend to ask relevant, but uncomfortable questions.
Conspiracy theories are a side-effect of biased education.
Are you suggesting that we should get rid of education to make people less susceptible conspiracies?
Yes, 100% my point! Who needs to know stuff when the Government and rich people are already looking out for our best interests? Poverty is a non-issue, everyone owns 2.5 houses per capita, this is a utopia! Books just ruin everything!

Not sure how you got "get rid of" from that statement...
I dont know if you’ve noticed but a lot of these people can’t tell or understand trolling or faking content. Now on this level? Yeah. But it’s so so easy to be a poe in their midst.
My strategy has basically just been to go to their content, go into the comments, and then write something that I feel they’ll mostly agree with but crosses some kind of line.
Like if they’re talking about fluoride in drinking water you just say stuff like “screw the feds poisoning our water, we can find other ways to get hydrated. I just stick to diet cokes, works fine for me. I even cook with it so I don’t poison my food”
Thats fucking hilarious
or how about skibidi toilet disabling the 5g chips inplanted via satellites
Let's just say people who believe that image without further evidence would probably not believe any facts or other opinions than their own.
Just tell them that voting is a reptilian conspiracy to steal testosterone so that enough of them stop that we can elect some representatives who will improve public education to the degree that people are generally less likely to believe conspiracy theories.
