I've told this story before, but my mom used to send me the FW:FW:FW: emails. I started hitting reply all and inserting the Snopes article to help my older relatives better discern the facts of a situation, and I'd even write my own response to go with it. I only did it 3 times. I only did it 3 times not because they started coming back to reality, but instead because they didn't want to be told they were wrong, so she quit including me. My biggest concern is that we are living with a bunch of people who have completely checked out from reality and are just not open to coming back, and that those people are going to take this view of needing a revolution and starting a civil war over a bunch of shit that is completely not true. I have no idea how we're going to avoid this eventuality, but I know if we don't figure it out, it's coming.
