  Yes. But the internet gives idiots a huge microphone to spread their idiotness to other idiots. And false information can also spread like a wild fire on the internet.

    Climate change denial along with the idea of public transit is more or a huge propaganda campaign. It is closer to an ad campaign put on by “big oil” than just idiots talking on the internet. Koch brothers are huge into this whole thing but in America at least it was a planned and targeted campaign.

    Similar to why Subaru is known as a vehicle for lesbians, that was also an ad campaign before the internet.

    It’s important I think to know this isn’t “hive mind” mentality or just a few idiots convincing others. This is a huge campaign with huge money backing it. Ads and propaganda science is a wild science and really interesting but just know with enough money, time, and skill, convincing a large group of people to do or think something is very possible and done every day.
