It was true before the internet too, there was just less opportunities to witness it because you didn't interact with thousands of strangers at once.

Well... Yeah that probably checks out. I have met an engineer who was sure 9/11 was planned demolition even though we literally sat and did the math to prove it was essentially a damaged free fall with no outer explosions... And a biologist major who believed in creationism...

People are full of bad takes in shocking hypocrisy. This is definitely just the more public long lasting version of all those.

To paraphrase the post,

We people have always been ignorant, we just keep the receipts now.
