The problem is that so many here wanted it to be true, so they drank the hopeium. That's my biggest issue with this community, the hope is what often connects the random dots, while common sense tells you they're not connected. We really aren't as logical and fact based as we should be. The autism is super strong, but because of that we find links where there are none, we associate dates and events that are actually random or coincidental. If you want to believe something badly enough, you can always find supportive evidence and other people to give you confirmation bias.
That's why the shill accusation can be dangerous.
I've been called a shill many times here, the mods even banned me for a week because I dared to question the group think. That's the problem, we claim to verify everything and think on our own, but there is a huge amount of sheep-like behavior. "Trust the plan or you're a shill"... that's no better than calling someone racist or "Suck a woman's dick or you're a transphobe"
Agree. We all just have to keep fighting the good fight and find the right balance. I am a Darwinist when it comes to free speech. Let people keep talking and the truth will survive any bad theories.
