This fake bird movement exposed some real human glitches. Peter McIndoe’s “Birds Aren’t Real” movement was meant as satire — a wild claim that the U.S. government replaced birds with drones. Once the media picked it up and people began reacting, the experiment shifted. It wasn’t just about fake birds anymore — it was about how we treat people who believe things we don’t understand. Peter noticed something eye-opening: when people feel mocked or dismissed, they don’t rethink their beliefs — they dig in deeper. Judgment doesn’t change minds. It just makes people feel more alone, more defensive, and more likely to find comfort in echo chambers. What if the way forward isn’t arguing harder, but listening better? If we want a shared reality, we need to stop pushing people away and start understanding what’s pulling them in. The truth matters, but how we talk to each other might matter just as much. #Politics #Conspiracy #BirdsArentReal #Insight
