Thanks for the correction, you're right, crazy conspiracy theories do affect reality in that way. I meant affecting reality in a way where, no matter how many people say vaccines cause autism, it won't make it reality. So by that example, no matter how much the right was 'projecting' about cannibalism and other stuff, that by itself is not proof, or proof of the contrary.

I understand where you're coming from, and you're absolutely correct. This is information warfare though, and one side accepts facts and science while the other accepts vibes. Cannabalism is a bad vibe, and if the right wing media ecosystem tries to sanewash it (like the whole 'Trump isn't a pedo, he's a hebephile' sham) — they don't come back from that.

We have to use their cognitive disability against them.
