That's where it starts. Then once they find Wikipedia, it'll be a game changer.
it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we're living in
but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don't think there'd be that many trump supporters
Facts don't cure stupid... Sadly
My mom believes that Wikipedia is "influenced and censored." She didn't like Fargo when my uncle tricked her into watching it, so claimed that the Wikipedia article describing its awards (7 Oscar noms, 2 wins, etc.) were part of the demon-influenced liberal agenda.
So no, Wikipedia doesn't cure cultism.
*facts don't cure...
There's a difference between a cultist living thru the growth of the Internet and social media. It's another when you have people completely cut off from the vast majority of the world and information for the last few decades.
