Part 7/12:
One of the more pointed segments critiques how misinformation and cognitive dissonance pervade online spaces, exemplified by the peculiar case of Sasha Gray defending Hassan, a controversial figure linked with supporting aggressive dog training methods. Despite evidence to the contrary, supporters cling to unsupported narratives, reflecting broader societal issues of truth, trust, and division.
The hosts analyze how social media fosters an environment where supporting one figure—regardless of the facts—becomes a matter of identity allegiance, risking societal fragmentation. They underscore that this dynamic is hazardous, as it hampers productive discourse and fuels tribalism.
