> 40% of what you see is right wing conspiracy theorists
Right in a post complaining labelling, a labeling slapping to my face.
I am a bit depressed by our species ability to do rational thinking.

Does claiming someone is a member of ISIS automatically make you a right-wing conspiracy theorist or is it different under these circumstances?
How is the number 40% actually determined, surely it must be an assumption from scrolling through the feed for a little while? To my knowledge it's difficult (near impossible without 3rd party tools) to determine in real-time the number of tweets pertaining to a certain topic.
... and so is this.
I believe my assertions were true. Here are the first two people I saw on my twitter search:
Jack Posobiec Wikipedia: "John Michael "Jack" Posobiec III (/pəˈsoʊbɪk/ pə-SOW-bik; born 1985) is an American alt-right[1][2][3] internet troll, conspiracy theorist,[4][5] and self-described journalist, known primarily for his controversial and pro-Donald Trump comments on Twitter."
He was claiming that google removed her videos from youtube as part of a coverup because she didn't fit the narrative of conservative white males causing mass shootings
Laura Loomer Wikipedia: "Laura Elizabeth Loomer is an alt-right[1] American political activist and Internet personality. She was a reporter for Canada's The Rebel Media during the summer of 2017, resigning that September.[2][3][4][5][6] Prior to June 2017, she worked for Project Veritas with James O'Keefe.[3]"
Her tweets are calling the youtube shooting "an act of jihad". Also made a tweet that seemed to imply, because the shooter has an androgynous name and muscular build, that she could be trans. As if that has anything to do with it.
After bumbling his way through some half-hearted doxing attempts and watching her videos, he was smugly confident in his extrapolations of her psychological diagnosis, political affiliations, family history, &c. And his commenters formed a sycophantic chorus.
Ideology is the failure of a mental model to adapt to error. It's an inflexible coping strategy that rams all perceptions into presuppositions.
Its air of authority is evidence of the delusion, not of successful reality-checking.
you can do your part by quit being a right wing conspiracy theorist?
