In a time when misinformation is everywhere, very few take the time to dig deeper. Currently factual statements are met with “you can’t prove it” and “that’s fake.” We can prove a lot you just have to take the time to read it. If you actually read, and disagree, at least your answer won’t be something stupid like “that’s fake.” Reasons are important.
The below texts are nowhere near an exhaustive list of what needs to be understood. Click on the title in each caption below for a link to each text.
Enjoy.
