    narratives dont work when you’re exposed to factual information - but if you willingly disbelieve and remain intentionally ignorant then all the factual information in the world wont change your belief.

    Agreed, the amount of people throwing words around like “genocide” and “carpet bombing” have long detached from reality.

        And yet words are becoming meaningless because of how they’re abused to push a narrative.
