Their reaction is kinda sad. Everybody just hopped on the mod's train and nobody seems to have done much digging on the arguments presented. That's not what critical thinking looks like. Which publication are we going to cheer being banned next?
Actually no. Most of us previously supported George News and were swayed by the logical arguments presented. The most persuasive one.wss the thoroughly unnecessary, initial banning of a poster for asking a legitimate question about the providence of a video that was used. I didn't see anyone at GAW jump on board without reading through the comments. Might have happened, but I would say that was an exception rather than the rule. In fact, what I saw were a bunch of people very disappointed that the evidence indicates George News is likely false.
The 'logical arguments' weren't even argued. In about a span of 3 hours, the mod posted the original 'look into' and the 'it's banned' posts. For a community of deep and critical thinkers, that's virtually no time at all to allow for the 'logical arguments' to be scrutinized.
Beats getting hype when a random company is obviously working with google to put pins in places we might react. That was pretty fucking fruity.
I’m with you. We need to get to bottom of this.
Ok. So what have you come up with against Evspra's arguments about banning George news?
Nothing yet cause I'm busy, as are most of us, which brings up a fair point: Why did it only take 3 hours from the start of Evspra's first post to ban their content? That's hardly any time at all for anyone to actually vet his info and make some counterpoints. THAT, combined with the horde of accounts that jumped on that train, is why I think the reaction is sad. GAW is supposed to be a place where critical thinking and research happens, instead it's looking liked a comped place. INFILTRATION NOT INVASION
I believe she made her case, if you cannot see from what she said, you will never see it. I believe you refuse to see it, but that is my opinion. the thing i want to here from you is the real defense against her position. so I am asking you for that.
