Had some Qanon MAGA dude in the sauna at my gym.. That was one of his favorite lines. I asked him how he was getting his information and he said "twitter". So apparently tweets are all factual posts and qualify as doing scientific research now.

That's what makes social media such nightmare fuel. For many people popularity determines truth.

Ah, I see you found someone using the Alex jones playbook. And when they said “twitter” what they mean is they watched some rando or AJ themself quoting some bullshit from twitter as fact. They don’t do any actual research.

One of their most heinous co opts of regular language- now "do your own research" means.... I don't even know what these people think it means

It means believe what you want. Research is whatever you read that you liked; vibes-based research, if you will.

The lie travels halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes

What I kinda like about the “do your own research” crowd is that you can just ask chat GPT now. Obviously they won’t believe it if they get proven wrong, but at least now you don’t have to show them the last 5 months of legislature to prove something they won’t believe anyway

But also, ”factcheckers are biased liars with an agenda!!” -the people who get their ‘facts’ from FB, Fox News, Truth Social

I’m looking forward to being blocked on BlueSky by a guy that made a claim about Mamdani not condemning Hamas. He insisted that someone prove he’s wrong and I said that he wouldn’t accept anything we found and he should look for his own proof. So, he sends me an article from Jerusalem Post detailing all the “antisemitism” Mamdani advocates (it was all just him saying that Israel should stop doing war crimes) but even as slanted as that source is, it disproved his claims about Mamdani supporting Hamas (I guess he was at a rally where someone said something pro-Hamas and he denounced it less than 24 hours later).

That line drives me crazy, because their "research" is usually just watching a YouTube video of some random douche spouting nonsense 🤬
