    Religion. Cults of personality. Political parties. Advertisement campaigns.

    Just look up what’s happening with the Stanley cups right now… Look how the Jews in New York reacted to their illegal excavation getting shut down (oh, what a surprise!) Look back on how crazy the US was after 9/11. Straight up cheering as our government spends trillions to spy on us.

    People are over emotional in large enough numbers about really stupid things. It matters.

        If you cannot understand how most people believe in at LEAST one of those things I mentioned with virtually zero knowledge on the topic, you are simply choosing to be ignorant to stay an edgy boi making quips. Pathetic.

          Pathetic is making excuses to believe in things that aren’t real because it makes you feel good.

          Unless you lack the mental capacity, for whatever reason, to understand fiction from reality. And then it’s just sad.

            Yes, and many, many people engage in self-congratulatory or self-consoling behavior and thought patterns instead of logical ones. Dismissing that tacitly does not change reality.

                Are you literally braindead? This is about people believing things without evidence. If you’re going to claim religion or political campaigns don’t involve believing false truths, then you’re just proving how much you do not comprehend what I’m even saying…

                    Yes, exactly why I put religion on the list of, “things people believe without evidence.” Are you forgetting what this conversation is even about? Pathetic.
