I can't believe 2 random dudes on the internet taught me enough about critical thinking and media literacy that I was able to stop a panic attack in its tracks.
Basically the title. I came across an Instagram reel of someone "sounding the alarm" about some topic in a way that deeply scared me, but the first comment was from them offering their services on how to flee the US for [x] amount of money. And I just remembered some non-descript piece of critical thinking I guess I'm crediting to Hank and John that was like "If they're using your fear to sell you a product, is this a reliable narrator?"
Anyway thanks for being my reminder to think critically about the world and especially about the internet Hank and John. Its appreciated
