Why does /pol/ believe so blindy in these images (or "red pills" as they like to call them)?

It's easy to see how these images can be exploited as well. Anyone with a photo editor can influence the beliefs of 1000s of gullible people. Just cram a lot of semi-related material into one image and sell it off as a "red pill".

I doubt that most people who save these onto their devices and believe them even read them first.

No one even questions them or does their own research.

it turns out people who reject facts will believe anything they're told

1. Most people don't verify the info.
More than that, usually they don't have enough qualification for verifying it.
Hint: you can exploit the hell out of it to your heart's content.

2. People tend to believe.
People will protect their beliefs even if those beliefs are ridiculous.

most people are too lazy/disinterested to do their own research, so they're quick to believe anything sold as the "truth". Why look into something when those "redpills" told you everything you need to know?

it happens on both sides. People selling their agenda as "truth" dispite how rooted in facts they are. It's really easy to exploit, as long as what you're saying is sensible enough you can get people to believe anything.

Only the ones that actually give sources for the info, like the crime statistics graphs, are worthwhile.
In regards to the unsourced graphs, it's pretty ironic. In /pol/'s quest to win, they ended up adopting Jewish tactics and spread disinfo.
