    Yes. But where is the most common? I think that’s the point. That they are usually of the boomer variety.

      in my experience it’s everyone. very few people care about facts or evidence. most lemmy posters do not.

      i went to college 20 years ago and a huge chunk of my peers were completely immune to facts and evidence back then.

      it’s not an age thing, it’s a basic operating feature of human psychology, no matter your age.

      people who able to change their views based on new information are exceedingly rare. most folks just follow the ‘party line’ because that’s what gains them social acceptance/popularity, and going against it gets you socially ostracized.
