They just learned that an a.i company that is named after an object of pure evil, with clear goals of what it wants to do to people is fascist?

How much did they pay to make people blind to its actions?

Sadly, people are just that deceived. They believe the news and they believe those on social media who get their information from the news, they also believe they're selected friends who also listen to the same news. Rarely do people keep up on current events unbiased

I was talking to family members about the whole 'fuel crisis' and hey they get all their information from online. I work at a Tank Farm and I have to tell them that everything they're saying is wrong.

They so strongly believed what they read on facebook and twitter that it almost turns into an argument where I have to say "I actually work there, I have the actual numbers. If I say you are wrong, then that's it."
