It's a huge win that we get perspectives other than the official narrative. And that it's triggering the people that are upset someone disagrees with what they're selling. I disagree with the "misinformation" label generally. But I can see with voting or public health how there is a public interest in people receiving correct information (ignoring that authorities have lost all credibility on the larger anyway). But when it comes to politics, or "science" if we insist on calling it that, an official narrative is counterproductive and everyone has a right to say what they want, even if it's "wrong" or you don't agree. TMZ may be a source of celebrity misinformation. Who cares.

At what point is this a public health issue though? If the policy failures during this era end up leading to a state of mass famine, emigration, and death rivialing the disruption caused by COVID, is it a public health issue yet? How can you say who cares when every republican member of congress either disputes or outright denies the scientific consensus on climate change and attempts to prevent all meaningful action? I'm still young, and it feels like my future, and the futures of future generations, are evaporating in front of me. In my more jaded moments I wonder if at this point assassinating certain politicians could justified as self defense...

  So convinced that something really bad is about to happen that prevention justifies any means, even assassinations? You sound like any other madman.

    I didn't say any means. I'm not at the point where I'm willing to degrade democracy like that. But its sort of like asking if it would have been okay to assassinate Hitler (he was elected remember) before the holocaust took place, but the writing was on the wall. What does a politians life, your life, or my life mean in the face of untold suffering of millions of people for countless generations? What about you? Where would you draw the line? Would you say that George W's life outweighs the trillian dollars in national debt and 150K-1M civilian casualties? If you knew you could have averted all that from just killing him, did it, turned yourself in, when you were executed would you be a villain or a hero?
