the scary part is not the low IQ cults. it is the high IQs who have the time and energy to use ideas from the cults and spread them using sophisticated methods.Chine-language Twitter is batshit crazy too. Utterly toxic. Chinese-origin cults like Falun Gong gained a lot of influence. We have Republican politicians linking articles from their media. Considering what they usually publish, them gaining enough following to influence politics doesn't speak well for American education system. Most dissident cult media claims are stone cold low IQ stuff.
Anyway, I am completely OK with Chinese-cults and Indian-American politicians dumbing down the US governance even more.
Denying the Native American genocide, for instance, is dumb. But it's not dumb to write a huge paper about it with fake citations. As an example, the page I linked had a citation to The Wild Frontier by William M. Osborn, quoted as a 'historian'. He's actually a retired lawyer. You can clearly see the intelligence in deception and framing here. I don't want to give more clicks but there's many more examples of misleading citations, attributions, twisting words out of context, etc.
