The number of people in this thread defending the right to spread billionaire-funded lies, propaganda, and misinformation under the guise of free-speech is drop-dead astonishing. Like, I can see why civilization could fail on a massive scale if a critical mass of the population starts to believe the opposite of the truth, and declares war on those trying to explain.

Are you referring to Bill Gates?

  One side wants to help people, the other side wants to punish people. It is very clear from your post history that you are the "I got mine fuck you" breed of conservatism that has corrupted the US for the past 40 years. You are the enemy.

    I don't think either side wants to help people, other than their donors.

      I guess if you go through life with your eyes closed, or only listening to one side, then I can see how you'd think that. There's no place to start with someone as ignorant as you. Literally, I could list all of the ways the US left has helped improved the quality of living, and all the ways the US right has actively hurt people and you'd shrug and still spout the same ignorant comments. So all I have left for you and your type is contempt. Utter contempt.

        >Literally, I could list all of the ways the US left has helped improved the quality of living Yes, please list the ways the left has helped improve the quality of living for the US. I'd prefer the list only be things that occurred this century. Lip service doesn't count either. Sanders is the only one I can think of that's done anything, and The Party shut him out twice.

I find it amusing that I can't tell what side you are on.

  Yes you can. You're just one of those mentally wounded MRAs who wants to burn everything down in the name of Trump. You are literally bringing up "death panels" as an equivalent argument. You are scum.

    Well now I'm concerned that I'm on the same side of an argument with someone like you.

> billionaire-funded lies Pretty sure most people are forming their opinions on their own. That some of them you don't care for doesn't mean they've been bought by some mind-melding monster.

  Facts are different than opinions. When you lie you lie. If you're so distorted by Trump's daily lies, then I pity you.
