  It's sad that in a thread about the need to believe facts over lies, the one person who brings an actual well-sourced statistic is voted down. Maybe society really is doomed.

    I think you might be catastrophizing, it's definitely positively voted now, a mere 2 hours later. In the short term, votes are a Brownian process :) Edit: this post itself has swung between 3 and -1 over just an hour!

      People are downvoting against their beliefs instead of for the guidelines of discussion. It’s a hot (headed) topic.

        The parent post violates the guidelot in two ways, violating both the rule against commenting on downvotes and the rule about assuming good faith.

        there is very litle discussion here any more; its pretty much tribalism by people who aren't honest about being naked tribalists. The irony is that despite the leftist ideas, the actual age is incredibly conformist and conservative; there is a conservative ideology and a conservative spirit, and its possible to be leftist and yet be hidebound or reactionary in terms of free speech or tolerance.

  Day of poll. 45% of Republicans approve of the storming of the Capitol building https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2021/01/06/US-capitol-trump-poll https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20... More data needed, but it could be an example of folks not realizing how hot the potato was in the first poll. And dropped it by the second poll.
