Well, I'll wish you well, from me in Australia.

Now you know the definition of cognitive dissonance.

Because the majority don't face adversity, which is necessary to develop empathy. Without struggle, there's no need to self-doubt hence no conscioussness to tell you when you're wrong.

How do you expect this massive percentage of people to react?

Most of them came up in Our Public School System and many through “Institutes of Higher Learning”.
They have Deliberately NOT been “taught” to question anyone they accept as “Authority”.
They have Deliberately NOT been “taught” to Think Critically ... or even Think ... they have, in fact, been “taught” NOT to Think.
After 12+ or especially 16+ YEARS of “Indoctrination”...

They are INCAPABLE of Processing New Ideas ... of Arriving at an Original Conclusion.

"They don't even watch the video, or read the articles. They just launch personal attacks, quickly and with a vengeance."

I think one of the worst offenders of automatic response would be, "I didn't need to watch/ read it" followed by "everyone knows that (insert view here) is wrong" Who's everyone? Why wouldn't you want to watch or read something to better debunk it?

I don't really understand the mentality of the thrill of social media trolling. (I'm unsure if that's what you're experiencing, but I thought it fits) I enjoy seeing people with differing views engage in debate. I just don't see the point of flooding comments, pages, and hashtags with memes or resorting to only personal attacks.

The left is doing the same here in AUSTRALIA, but I'm a wake up to them!! The problem is, people Don't think for themselves, they have become followers, Not leaders of their own lives anymore!! I wish you well.

Have you noticed that if someone posts something supporting the hoax and scam narrative of COVID-19 being a pandemic that requires loss of freedom, they don't say anything but if you post something that contradicts that point of view, they ask whether you have a medical degree?
