    Every article ever.

    It feels like you can’t even make 3 clicks on the web without someone trying to gaslight you into doing or buying whatever the want

      I was going to say it’s every Forbes article ever.

      There’s an ocean of journalism that’s still legitimate, and pretending that there isn’t only plays into the hands of bad actors.

        Yeah, there’s a ton of great journalism out there; you just gotta know who’s doing it. One of the classic propaganda techniques isn’t actually for a bad actor to convince you to trust them; rather, it’s to make you distrust everyone else just as much, which now puts their propaganda on a level playing field with the legit journalism.

        Like many things in life, the solution is nuance and understanding, not sweeping generalizations.

          “the solution is nuance and understanding, not sweeping generalizations.”

          Idk that sounds like a swing generalization

        There is still decent journalism out there, but you have to sift through a lot of fly shit to find the pepper. Even main news sources are publishing opinion pieces like it’s going out of style.

        Give me vetted facts and let me make my own conclusions please.

      Are you just talking in general or do you believe walking barefoot is harmful? At least I was born without shoes so I believe it would be beneficial, also the only times I’ve stepped on a nail it was attached to a plank and I was wearing shoes.
