Regretfully, the Internet has long since been weaponized as a place of discord and hatred and disinformation, especially by parties that want to profit off the war on women, the war on children, the war on science, the war on actual truth and real facts, and the war between radical conservatives and ... everyone else?
It's really hard for good basic information on how to take care of yourself and your loved ones to survive in that kind of environment.
Unfortunately in the world we live in today, "truthiness" wins over real truth. "Alternative facts" win over real facts.
And real honest and open discussion of these issues is also dead, thanks to partisanship, Puritanism, and extreme nationalism. Not to mention profiteering.
