I am so sick of this sub becoming a twitter repost cesspool.

I look to you for an alternative suggestion. I know some people use archive websites, personally I don't trust those either. Who runs them? Who pays for them? Are we sure archived sites can't be modified by the site owner? etc. I know it's possible to overwrite an archived website snapshot by telling the site to re-archive it...

My frustration isn't with linking directly to twitter, it's with posters here treating social media posts as official sources of truth.

I, personally, have no clue who @MArepublican18 is. I just yearn for higher standards when reporting something. For a group of people who bash fake news, this site is really eager to trust anonymous sources on 4chan as another example.

Do we yet know if this has actually happened?

Look at you, vetting sources like some kind of intelligent and critically-thinking researcher!

Good on you.

Your name, does it mean "Do not surrender to evil?"

I try, anyways...

And yes that's what the username means. I took it from the Mises institute, a libertarian think tank that I was way into during late middle school / early high school. I'm a lot less libertarian these days, pretty much every day I grow older, but boy were Mises and Rothbard good at quelling communist ideas at an age where I would have been otherwise susceptible.
