Let the marketplace of free speech and ideas root that garbage out without overt and outright censorship, you know, kind of like we used to do in this country, even if it was decades or even centuries ago.
yes, i am appealing to common sense - not gatekeeping. I am asking for us as a community to not promote obvious nonsense because it makes us feel good. It is a distraction and a misappropriation of energy.
I'm with you in theory, but for us here, after everything we've experienced in terms of being censored and silenced, calling for more of it is absurd. All of that obvious pie in the sky crazy conspiracy "habbening" crap is/was ridiculous, but the way to deal with it is either ignore it and/or laugh it out the door.
attention seeking. Imagine I can say something and then instantly get an audience of hundreds of thousands, and the more crazy shit i say the more my audience grows. The issue with the election is that after it was over it was too late to organize a legal fight. It didn't help that every serious law firm refused to sign on for political reasons. This scramble to challenge the election left us wide open to all kinds of nonsense.
The problem is us, too. If someone says "I am 100% certain X will happen by this time" and nothing happens, they should never be trusted again.
we can make it happen. I know we can. But it is going to take work. The most important step is to get to the state legislatures, especially in the swing states. OH and FL cleaned up their shit, we need to make them a model of election integrity.

not asking for censorship - appealing to critical thought.
Agreed.
Yeah, why’s up with that? Crazy old men, or spreading disinfo for somebody?
I hope everyone is well and truly cured of listening to “generals”.

I'm sure those of us who are a bit crazy and hooked on hopium will hit rock bottom by the end of the day and come back to reality, myself included.
The pope wasn’t arrested?
I like your optimism about us making it to 2022.
