The real enemy of democracy is not misinformation or disinformation, it’s the type of education that doesn’t provide people with the necessary tools to critically approach information offered to them. The core fight is not against ignorance of current facts, it’s against poor education systems.

I've known decent, intelligent people who have fallen down the YouTube rabbithole and believe the most insane conspiracy theories.
I think it's a human trait that's just stronger in some than others.
