When people can't control anything important they control the useless things they can.
I was working at C-COR connecticut (they bought a division of ADC telecommunications), when management became obsessed with what was on top of peoples cubicle cubbies I knew we were circling the drain.

People do change their views, but it happens gradually and overtime, unless some drastic life-altering event occurs.
Only a decade ago I was a liberal that believed in social welfare, greater good of immigration, and existence of systemic impediments for minorities. Then as I got wiser, I realized that past some minimum necessary point welfare creates permanently dependent population that is kept that way by politicians to buy votes, I observed de-cohesion of society and decoupling of shared culture and values as the result of uncontrolled immigration, and I have observed how disadvantaged minorities, given an opportunity, create much worse discrimination against everyone else. So I changed my mind and now against all these things.
Was it chemical brain damage or a blow to the head that did it?

It costs too much to fact check so we're outsourcing that to our users.
To be fair though it seems there are enough users typically to debunk most bullshit that is going around. I especially like watching Elon Musk get fact checked on his own bullshit on his own platform. Hopefully Facebook can have a similar level of comedy.
What happens is bullshit is available by the metric tonne and it's laying about everywhere and people just dip in their shovel and spread it, and of course there are the deliberate disinformation and misinformation sources that craft and disseminate carefully curated bullshit to meet the fascist reich-wing agenda, and all of that is an easy to spew torrent, and fact checking takes time and effort, AND it comes too late, the bullshit has already spread.

May have been doing much better than tumbling, you can toss a board or piece of metal that shape from a height and with a bit of spin it will keep spinning, and create lift. Magnus effect, even though not spherical / round.
