Why can't people think for themselves and be informed abt topics. It takes like 5 minutes to figure things out.
This partly stems from the Cornell 7 case. I didn't say or believe anything at first because I didn't know the full context. Then I see a bunch of actual cattle posting on their story just to feel validation and feel good that "hey, I made an opinion". Specifically for the Cornell 7 case both sides are terrible but dude.
I know we have a herd mentality and everyone wants to fit in but still. If I see something on social media 90% of the time I wont take it for face value, like maybe ill make an initial judgement and sometimes I will make an opinion before I know more about it so its not like I'm not part of the overall problem.
Its great that the internet has made it so easy to share opinions and ideas, like what i'm doing right now, but some people need to learn digital literacy and mindfulness.
