mad at… perceived systemic issues. the fact that it’s fake news is irrelevant, since the criticisms levied here are applicable to any instance of government pollution. yall are basically saying “you can’t be mad at that if you poison yourself in other ways!” which is obviously an absurd thing to say to someone who’s angry at your cause. the only alternative explanation is that the people here assume she just doesn’t believe that smoking is bad for her?? like that’s it’s funny to believe a bizarre thing is true and a well known fact is false? but you can’t all possibly be that naive to think she doesn’t know smoking is bad for her.
this is important. these are the kinds of biases that we NEED to keep in check.
Fake news =/= systemic issues
Fake news = purposeful disinformation meant to distract from real harmful things in the world.
The point of the post is that shes being outraged over things that do not matter, instead of things that do matter (like the harmful nicotine industry, or distracted driving.). If she cared about the nicotine industries harm, where is the bumper sticker? If she cares about road safety, why is she clearly texting and driving?
Your argument is built upon false equivalencies at best and is being purposefully ignorant at worst. The post is meant to bring light to the fact that the US is killing itself for comfort in old ways and disinformation.
