i think you’re mis-applying the moral of this comic. the intended reading IMO is “a person believes misinformation, and perhaps they even go around spreading the misinformation to others. when they’ve been credibly corrected, instead of scrutinizing their whole ideology, they go ‘yeah but something like it is probably true enough’.” OP doesn’t point to any names or say “this is definitely happening”, they’re speculating about a scenario which may have already happened or may happen soon, and what we should do about it.
