So someone posts the knife attacker in Southport was a Muslim and there is a riot outside of a Mosque in which the rioters are not from Southport but inspired by social media to congregate. It takes many moths and sometimes an entire upbringing to get someone to attend a rally of this nature and throw bricks and rocks based on no evidence just the say-so of someone they may, or may not, have met.
Discernment is not always easy but long ago I heard someone suggest a question one should always ask: who benefits from my believing this?
It is a question I ask about every political and economic statement. The answers are sometimes benign – as with many environmental statistics – but often they show the manipulation of each and every one of us by someone else. Don’t let your imaginations be ruled by others.
