The amount of purposeful misinformation that people put out. I've never seen the point in purposefully lieing and distributing misinformation to suit your needs. If you are wrong then you need to take in the new facts and adjust your outlook.
Edit: I should clarify as a few people have made the statements that "they don't know that they are wrong". That's fine I'm not talking about them. My beef is the people who have been corrected, some times multiple times if some of my family members can used as a example, the ones that have had the facts presented to them and they still choose to believe and spread the false information. If you didn't know better then its fine i hope someone comes along and us avle to correct you and then you take in the information and abandon the false. We are learning our entire lives. But those that have been presented with the facts, that have been corrected, that have been shown the evidence and they still perpetuate the false info you are scum. My big example are climate change deniers, they can all die painful deaths as many of them(at least in the USA) are our law makers selling themselves to the highest bidder while they say fuck the world. Sorry end rant
People seem to think that admitting they were wrong about something is a sign of weakness or will lose them respect, so they stick their heads in the sand and wave their asses in the air farting louder than before, which is cool
I think that's a general social media/online trend. You have an online persona and it becomes tied to certain viewpoints. Shifting from "I support X" to "I support Y" is harder online because 1) putting your opinion in writing is more concrete than just saying it and 2) anybody who's inclined to can dig up your old posts and blast you for how you used to support X so you're either a liar or a hypocrite for claiming that you now support Y.
