The weak minded on social media

When I read comments sections on social media, I am intrigued how people post opinions as fact in an attempt to persuade people’s thinking. Surely they are no so stupid to believe their own lies, or maybe they are starting to convince themselves of their own stupidity. These weak minded attempts to manipulate people’s opinions really only feed their own cognitive biases. They are firstly looking for people to agree with them and then people to argue with who disagree with them.

I have to admit, I do like baiting these simpletons and laughing when they get all worked up. We all have a difference of opinion in so many issues, it is highly improbable that we will agree on all issues. So stop forcing your beliefs on others and getting aggressive when we disagree with your pointless views. You can’t influence us with your silly opinions, so just stop trying. Generally, the intellectuals are not commenting on social media so this sphere is left to the deadheads – who would have thought?
