Altogether these findings support the claim of the side-taking theory of morality that siding against allies for the right (moral) reasons uniquely reduces perceptions of disloyalty, allowing people to set aside their allegiances when condemning their immoral actions. 9/9
“Since far more people are uninformed because they do not follow the news than misinformed because they consume misinformation, the fight against false beliefs is most likely to be effective when pursued in concert with the broader fight for reliable information.”
One of my favorites paper got published 🥳 It covers a lot of ground and it’s the best summary of my views on misinformation and what to do about it. Give it a read :)
LOLLLLLL yes I bet Iranian New Yorkers are feeling VERY unsafe now that the people who just gunned down 30,000 Iranians in the streets have been killed 😂
What is happening in Iran now – large-scale protests, effectively an uprising – is a clear sign that things won’t get easier for Russia.
And every decent person on this planet truly wants the people of Iran to finally free themselves from the current regime that has brought so much evil to Ukraine and to other countries.
It is crucial that the world does not miss this moment when changes are possible. Every leader, every country, and international organizations must step in now and help the people remove those guilty of what Iran has sadly become.
Everything can be different.
