You've mentioned the community of ideas a few times. I'm sorry to tell you but that concept is dead. Studies have been done and false information, scandals, rage bait, lies travel farther, wider, deeper, and faster than the truth does on social media. Truth is at a massive tactical disadvantage and even when it gets there, the party is already over and everyone has gone home with a different partner than the truth. No condoms, no lube, every orifice is fair game. Many false news babies shall be conceived.If you can flood the zone with ****, you create enough confusion that people end up without any sense of reality. We’ve seen this happen with Covid and vaccines, the Big Lie, Jan 6, Russia invading Ukraine, the state of the economy, we’ll see it happen once Biden kicks Trump’s ***. By continuously gaslighting people, the right creates an exhaustion to where people just give up trying to make sense of the world they live in. Nothing is true. Nothing is right or wrong.
We live in the post-truth, post-facts era. Conspiracies rule the day. Conspiracies taste like candy to our brains and facts taste like dry bran flakes. Most people are getting fat on lies.
