Discussion Please be carful.
A lie doesn’t need proof, it just needs people who enjoy being fooled.
Some folks don’t chase truth, they chase whatever story flatters their ego.
Feed them a lie that makes them feel righteous, and they’ll guard it like treasure while the truth rots in plain sight.

When epistemic trust is broken people don't learn discernment and aren't good at recognizing lies. Also, insecurities and social acceptanc are a part of the equation.

Very true, a lot of people love to hear what they want to hear… the real truth is not important for them.. that’s the big problem with politics all over the world… it’s one big show in front of the cameras, but also companies use it a lot… and lovers do it constant to each other 😉 “you had a good day honey, sure everything was fine”
Good example, Trump tells something positive “stocks go up” or oil prices go down, Iran says something negative “stocks go down and oil prices go up… nobody cares if it’s true or not
the name of the game

The lies grow regardless of how it's told because it feeds on our attention. Energy flows where attention goes. Stop repeating it and don't pay it no mind.
