20 Something
The internet generation is critically deficient in their ability to discriminate real news from fake news. Being most of their time is spent staring at screens which display pre-planned thoughts, reality has become almost fluid, even nonexistent. Long established truth is questioned. Truth is now based on feelings not on experienced history.
They have no idea and no skills to verify anything they read. And they only read books produced for the consumption of useful idiots. There is no difference between news and advertising. The source for a news story is at best anonymous and at worse, unnecessary, as personal bias is now satisfactory for their story-telling. Rumor and accusations are news and especially if they’re biased to the left; their feelings drive “reporting” and with fingers in the ears defiantly object to their target’s defense. Discernment isn’t thought to be a necessary virtue which makes them voices without charm and pursue an agenda without mercy.
For this reason, completely unhinged, lunatic ideas have merit in their minds. The future is controlled by mindless idiots devoid of reason and dedicated to a future that can’t come true.
