I agree with the rest, but

Teaching critical thinking skills it not a solution. People are not getting fooled, they want to believe it, it fills an emotional need.

Yes. Properly taught critical thinking overrides the emotional thinking. If it didn't, people wouldn't anymore then animals.

That's the thing, people don't want to. Critical thinking for one it takes more physical energy, which is a impediment. People want to belong as it can be very difficult to thrive being excluded, so there can be an advantage to just go along with the dominate narrative. Hence why we are getting a onslaught of propaganda like this twitter post.
