People are tribal. It's pretty rare to find someone who acts rationally, enlightened and educated at all times. Of course all of us here do!

I agree with you, but in fact I have nurtured within myself a healthy skepticism that, so far, has protected me from scams, etc. I feel like skepticism is a powerful weapon against propaganda.

Ask yourself, "Does that person have something to gain by lying?" "Yes" should immediately raise a red flag and you can go from there.
