Actually, there’s half truths (and full lies) being told everywhere, from advertising to politics, and it’s definitely not just limited to social media.
Once people lose trust in institutions it’s hard to get that trust back and people will look elsewhere.
CNN says the earth is round, obviously it's globalist deepfake propaganda, because the mainstream media is nothing but fake news.
Reddit says it's flat, well that's probably true because we know what the "elites" have to say about it, and they can't be trusted...
What, science says it's round? The same mainstream science that only serves a globalist agenda to reinforce the status quo and prop up big pharma, and brainwash people into conformity? The same scientific establishment that lies about gender and race and climate change? Obvious bullshit.
Like Trump saying "I was being sarcastic" when asked about his "Doctors should look into injecting disinfectants to cure Covid-19" statement. Or even simpler, lying about the number of people who attended his inauguration.
