I don’t think it’s terrifying.
Sure it’s dumb and poorly informed. There have always been dumb people spreading bad ideas. It is not our responsibility to force them to agree with us or de-platform them if they won’t agree with a certain narrative. This is called common human decency.
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoRe-read what I wrote, where did I say anything about deplatforming? Yes, I understand TFA was about YouTube deplatforming people, but the comment I was replying to was about people's need to learn basic media criticism/critical thought. Frankly, it's about holding other human beings to basic standards when they make pronouncements in public. Entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts, etc.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoSeeing people you know believe in bullshit makes it harder to believe that you and the people around you believe in what is right and do not believe in bullshit. The idea that you might not be right and might instead be believing in bullshit is uncomfortable to a lot of people.
