This "Common Sense" Facebook Post Isn't What It Seems

from The Skeptical Leftist Podcast · host Cory Johnston

I came across one of those Facebook posts that frames itself as "just common sense" — but underneath, it's pushing a lot of political spin and selective outrage.Instead of pretending it’s harmless, I broke it down piece by piece.I'm not above politics — this is a political video. I just hate when bad narratives like this get passed around as if they're neutral or apolitical.If you want to read a full written version of this breakdown, you can find it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/theskepticalleftist/p/this-common-sense-facebook-post-isnt?r=iu0tj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true If you found this helpful, or you’re tired of seeing this kind of bad framing pop up everywhere, feel free to like, share, or subscribe.If you enjoyed the show, consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist  to help keep the content coming.
