It takes some time for some people to come around and figure things out for themselves.
I saw a small number of folks posting early on that Israel’s war on Gaza was a genocide and getting dragged HARD for it. I’ve lost count of how many people said I was an antisemite for being skeptical of Israel’s official news releases because “Israel was just defending itself”. Now Lemmy is majority pro-Palestine and recognizes the Palestinian genocide. Looks like a bunch of you were wrong…
I don’t know if the majority of folks really ever had critical thinking skills to begin with. Can you name a time that’s notable for most people being rationally critical? I sure can’t.
