Right, good example. The government doesn't properly clean the water they are paid to, and the media doesn't report on it, but instead of talking about that, Alex Jones says fluoride is poison. Conspiracy theorists have plenty of

I should qualify my statement by saying this rule is true for younger generations. Boomers use FB messenger as a primary communication tool, you're right.

Do you really believe every person has functional critical thinking capacity and won't be convinced by dangerous lies? What a world that would be to live in.

No, but if only one side is actually debating and the other is just trolling for reactions, there's no possibility for "good" ideas to ever even meet bad ones, much less defeat them.

> 'Where we go one, we go all' I never understood that as a moto. Right wingers are known for being hyper-individualistic, WWGOWGA seems like some quasi-socialist slogan. But you are right, there are multiple crises of poverty,

Then they ignore evidence to believe what they want to, not what is most logical. Internet or no, those people were always going to be misinformed. Because they choose to be.

Are you trying to argue that they are inhaling pollution at an extremely high rate by running downtown or do you just not like the fact that I pointed this out?

Right, that's my point. Then you aren't close. If you were, you'd have his imessage / whatsapp. Facebook is a 3rd tier form of communication for a reason.

If the books are guides to killing people and the subversion of your community, then yes burn them.

Media and government does lie to you, but not about fluoride in the water. They tell you your life is sustainable (when it's not) and they cannot do anything more to help (while helping the 1% without hesitation). QAnon (like all consp

> Look no further than the use of masks and hydroxychloroquine in the United States. Masks work to help stop the spread and hydroxychloroquine has no evidence that it helps anyone who is sick. There, was that so hard?

Exactly. QAnon is almost exclusively a "I am not happy with my life" support group.

Exactly. Every time I see someone jogging/running in the downtown part of the city, surrounded by idling cars, I shake my head.

Account creation is so damn outdated. With device fingerprinting you don't need an account to know who is who, and with algorithms pinpointing interests you don't have to ask anything about age / sex / etc. You can figur

All new "thought leaders" just repackage old Buddhist / Stoicism concepts. Go on Joe Rogan, sell your book of old ideas with new marketing, cash in. Your average millennial would never buy a "self help" book, but Ti

He was calling for military violence against largest peaceful protesters, the one red line that once you cross, there's no going back (Syria, Egypt, etc.) By printing it, NYT gave it a platform and a tacit approval. Not to mention that

If by critical you mean reporting what he does and what he says, then yes. That's probably around 97%. Why you think the above is somehow editorialized, I don't know. I think most mainstream news outlets do an incredible job maint

He wanted the military unleashed on his fellow citizens, a move that would have escalated violence and perhaps led to a spiraling loss of control by both sides. "Racist" was the least of the concerns.
