And so the US draws closed it's Iron Curtains. For the US imply that undemocratic corporations are the arbitrators or truth is laughably absurd. An honest person has nothing to fear from the lies of another.
- DFHippie 6y ago> An honest person has nothing to fear from the lies of another. Some problems with this: 1. an honest person in a democracy must fear how ads influence her neighbors, regardless of how they influence her 2. honesty does not buy you an all-seeing eye, so honest people can be fooled by a dishonest person's lies 3. lies are laundered when they are repeated by well-meaning, fooled honest people, so whatever superpowers one honest person has against dishonesty, they are neutralized by this kryptonite
