They really just say whatever in pursuit of their goals. Conservatives should not be taken seriously. They're dishonest, cognitive hazards.
Im sorry to uhm akschually you but a cognitive hazard is anything that’s dangerous when perceived with (at least) one of the senses (I.e. upon seeing something),
but this is actually a infohazard, something that’s only dangerous upon being understood (like a instruction manual on how to build a bomb, which wouldn’t bee dangerous in the hands of a fish for example)
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Eh, he was kinda right the first time: the less capable you are at critical thinking (I.e. understanding what they're actually doing), the more vulnerable you are to their bullshit.
Thanks for the rabbit hole
Yeah but obviously a bunch of people just lap this stuff up.
Once you buy into the cult a whole bunch of cognitive biases & fallacies kick in to keep you in; sunk cost, conservativism bias, false consensus, confirmation bias, anchoring, etc they get all the falluses
Mostly Faux News Red Hats.
Cognitive hazard? Someone should Secure and Contain them to Protect normal people
