I saw a guy here in Lemmy arguing once that the nordics are socialists contries... The dude also told the comenters trying to explain why is not true to go read... I get they were confused and I belive is a easy mistake to make, but he had so many good comments explaining in a calm and easy way why he wasn't right and he keept just deying it.
There is just sadly too much (miss)information out there and most people dont have the interest, energy or (and in a lesser degree) the capacity to exercise critical thinking and reading.
