A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
Conspiracies can only be debunked by showing the believers facts that impose them. Facts, not arguments.
That makes it hard in some cases because they might be so far gone that you have to prove that simple statistical math operations are not dreamt up.
Anyways, the easy things we can do we should do to change their minds.
Example: in Germany we have glas recycling and it is sorted by green, white and brown in three different containers on the side of the street. When the truck comes it picks up each container and dumps it into the back by holding it with a crane over the trailer. Some person without any imagination thought recycling must be a lie because they dump it all in the same truck. It never occured to him that there are compartments on the trailer. But now he is a gonner, he saw the light and everything he always suspected becomes true as well. Drag that idiot on the ladder of the trailer and show them.
If only it was that easy...
We do it not because it's easy...
It isn't easy but it's a start. What's the alternative?
