I've never understood this part of it. There's a disinformation problem on all of these platforms, so why not just kill all of them? The only argument I've seen is basically that it's better for the West to be the ones manipulating people in the West vs. having people in the East manipulating people in the West. And that just doesn't feel like a good argument.

- protimewaster 2y agoThis is only relevant if people are manipulating others for the betterment of the culture, and that feels overly optimistic IMO. If everyone is just manipulating for selfish reasons, they'll happily destroy their own country.
