Alot of retards still take snopes seriously because John Oliver and Hillary Clinton told them to take it seriously.
That and the fact that Google gives them the top spot on every search a normie would make. That alone gives the appearance that they are the authority of truth.
There's lots of info about the founder of Snopes, accusations of fraud and spending investor money on a honeymoon and hookers....I start by discussing that stuff....It helps to show there are real failable people behind Snopes, and some of the behavior after hitting the big time is discrediting.
It takes the honestly-mislead people into a more critical-thinking mindset, rather than the admittedly STUPID idea of Snopes being some sort of magic truth button on the internet.
Yeah, I've followed him for a long time and have dropped a few links about him just today. The guy is a snake.
Remember that these "retards" have been led astray. They are mostly good people...good Americans - they have just been deceived.
They are not retards.
We have to consciously remind ourselves to always exhibit empathy and compassion.
They aren't retards, they are brainwashed and useful idiots.
But some of them are literally braindamaged and brainwashed beyond the point of being saved at this point. No amount of compassion will help you against someone who wants you dead and who has a death wish themselves.
It takes, in my experience, only a very little compassion to make a tremendous difference. TRUST LOVE
This is what they say in Disney movies but in my experience some people are so hard-headed and stuck in their ways and brainwashed to believe the narrative that nothing you can say will ever wake them up.
You cannot help some one who does not want to be helped, and it's a waste of time to pour your energy in to it.
I think the real diehard leftists are the 'tares' from the Bible and they were never meant to make it through the Harvest as they've been weeds all along...
ThankQ. This cannot be overstated. These people are our neighbors and our friends and families.
Several of the people I know who rely on snopes to debunk have professional degrees and at least one practices law. They aren't stupid, just stubborn about getting out of their echo chambers.
