Ann: CEO letter to shareholders, page-18

There you have it. Very concise example of exactly what went on over the last few years at an executive level from their government and parts of their media. Humans evolved, expanded and formed very strong and populous groups because of their ability to tell stories.

It doesn't even matter that every single thing you have mentioned can be comprehensively and completely proven incorrect. You "believe" your BS. That it is factually wrong and somebody puts some facts on the table actually makes you upset. Because your "belief" is being challenged, and you have established mechanisms to help you feel part of your group through your beliefs. You have wonderfully exemplified exactly what modern political populists can attribute to their recent success.
