To be fair, I'm guessing a lot of the people sharing the poorly researched infographics WANT to ride with Hitler.
LooseVALVe
Propaganda*

Kabe59
According to a highly placed source, they are good guys on both sides, so maybe that Hitler guy is a cool passenger
kebob
I'd love to ride with Hitler! I have so many questions.
GoodEveningThisIsWhatAButtDoesPBBPPBBTT
You mean literally every meme picture on the internet?
LetsGiveItATry
Fun fact. The show Preacher, made me root for Hitler's escape out of Hell. Poor Morales? Or great writing?
omgtessie
Facts and sources is soooo last president.
JamiesEPIRB
Sources don't matter, just say it's from an anonymous source, & you can't revile your source. It's what the media does, & it works for them
DarkLynx13
And it seems we are having that issie now in 2017.
darklanser
Ride or Die Fuhrer....
B4rryBl4ck
There is so much false information around such as propaganda news or just made up shit stuck on a meme. 1/2
B4rryBl4ck
People are too busy to cross-reference what they read. Information such as extremists with fake news/stories to provoke muslim hate etc 2/2

Get in loser, we're plagiarizing Poland!

But when we comment, who do we comment with?
BoReDMartin
You comment with d. Deez nuts!
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Tell that to CNN. NO - WAIT - THAT WAS A JOKE!!!!
Grimmjokes
If you get all your info from memes your gonna have a bad time. Sorry too lazy to make that a meme

One of the better instances of godwin's law.
Cheesecakecrush
Ohhhh so when some dude writes a shitty poem filled with lies and half-truths, gets kids under 8 to read it for him, and puts it on youtube
Cheesecakecrush
its propaganda?
Vozzaroo
I need a pie chart or flow sheet to prove this

If that's the case, then it would appear that everyone in this day and age is a damn nazi

Oh! I want this for the library I work at.

Finally. My Facebook account is 9 years old. This image might be my first post. Nah. Why break with tradition?
Bobeez
More like you ride with Trump...
TotallyNotYourCat
Ironic.
CountSnarkula
Science and facts no longer matter. What is important is the virtue of your cause and how loudly you denounce those who disagree.
MrFnortner
Requiring everyday people to fact check is arrogant and dismissive. The only people with a duty to fact check are newsroom staff. 1/2
MrFnortner
2/2 Baseless opinions are the stuff of conversation and even argument--the essence of human discourse. Deal with it.
Madethisusernameforonereason
So fucking true...
BombBloke
It's not that they "no longer matter". They never did. Recognising that problem is the first step towards solving it - things ARE improving!
SirReginaldXII
Wow. I'm literally saving this, well said
SpongebobThiccpants
The problem is that the validity of "science" and "facts" is dependent on the competence of the people who promote them.

"No longer" as if it has ever been any different.
unpopularopinionlord
Yes it has. About 10 to 15 years ago, facts and science were a thing. Today, they are irrelevant.
snowfork
And how many city blocks your followers can burn, before police stop them, if the government doesn't cave to your demands.
Brindleybeagle
Like how the U.S.A. started...
siler7
What? No.
Clarion5
I'm at a loss on how to rectify this disastrous trend.
SirLintalot
Create a foundation of documentation so that after WW3 we hopefully get it right.
CountSnarkula
I wish I knew...
Scave
Another war, till we do it all again.
Argondey
Hontestly I think the problem comes from our hyperconnectedness, something fundamental about the internet might have to change...
eclect0
"Trend?" Was there a point in history when it wasn't like this?
AbusedPickle
Culture has grown to recognize what is wrong with itself. It's not new, but we're better equipped now to deal with it now then before.
DropDeadFread
I've been thinking about this since the election. I can only think of 3 things: educate better, older people dying off, civil war.
CountSnarkula
Have to laugh at the old people dying off. LOL you and Oprah really know what's going on.
Setfox
"Older people dying off" lolno. This is just as rampant in younger generations as older ones. It's fucking everywhere and it's depressing.
DropDeadFread
People below 45 are overwhelmingly liberal. It's like a 70/30 split.
Setfox
Honestly, I see the same amount of misinformed, anti-science crap on both sides of the political spectrum. Just different kinds.
AbusedPickle
Teach rational thinking in school, maybe
ProfCoffee
isnt that what lab reports were for? yknow...those group lab reports in high school science class that always fell entirely to 1-2 people?
AbusedPickle
That teaches how to write a paper, im talking about how to react to new information. How to understand confirmation bias.
ProfCoffee
oh wait
TresusIbor
Something tells me that's never gonna happen without some dedicated people in government and vocal groups...so never, really.
AbusedPickle
If it can be taught those people will eventually run the government, but you're right. There's no money in it so it won't happen
Zreen
What is considered rational changes over time. What we think as rational now may not be in 50 or even 100 years from now.
AbusedPickle
What I mean by rational is responding to change and new info with a grain of salt. Not immediately dismissing or accepting like most will do
Zreen
And as I said, that might change.
