Exactly. Yesterday I was listening to this article [1] and not to excuse or legitimate these awful groups, but these are the kinds of overreach I think may directly feed into the radicalization of the young or more disillusioned people towards these movements.

- raxxorrax 6y agoIt is certainly demotivating to have someone with Q-anything standing next to you screaming some esoteric theories, but the real factor is a docile attention-addicted press that is useful for starting wars in Iraq, but not for holding officials accountable. In that regard it might actually be smarter to vote for someone the press does at least try to hold to account. Many outlets are just completely broken. The NYT has some really good content, but also a lot of partisan shit. Most of their reporting on Iraq and Assange is not worth to print on paper. Honestly, it is just different bullshit they believe. Edit: this is an unfounded allegation: the education of the author might suggest a career path in national security. To be fair, she could also be a Russian.
