Some observations:
-
I am more hesitant to post content in public spaces because I do not always have energy to do deep research needed to debunk fact-checking responses.
-
I am more cautious about what I post, as I don't enjoy being publicly shown to have made an error (which many readers will assume to have occurred if I don't reply to factcheck type criticisms)
-
As a result, I am slowing down. Sure, some things which would be in the public interest to be publicised are getting past me, but the quality of the posts I am making publicly is going up.
Ditto everything above for face to face conversations.
Basically the "fact-checking" and censorship is making me carefully double-check my conclusions before making any kind of public statement. If others are doing the same, this means that the quality of argument being presented from the side of those who question the mainstream narrative is being consistently improved and strengthened.
I think this explains the recent media debacle around Ivermectin. It is getting increasingly difficult for them to create the illusion of fact-checking, and as a result they are panicking and getting careless. This is making even more people start to pay attention. For example, my sister has started to research Ivermectin following conversation with me. (She is very trusting and has taken the Vax. All her information sources are mainstream). This weekend I was able to show her that almost everything she had read about Ivy in the mainstream is unreliable at best, and deliberately fradulent at worst. As a result I see the early signs of her beginning to question what she is being told.
So my take-away from this is, let us recognise the opportunity in the censorship, and just keep making it harder and harder for them to debunk the increasingly coherent and compelling arguments mounting against the media narrative. I still believe that Ivermectin is the key to unlocking the conspiracy around vaccines, covid, the election, and all the other malfeasance that lead up to what are increasingly looking like pre-meditated crimes.
Yes, it's key because it is being questioned, not quickly thrown out because Trump said it, like hydroxychloroquine, Now that they have no boogie man to blame they trip on their own shoelaces.
But yes, being censored is a good training ground or school for us. We don't grow in a padded classroom. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Meanwhile, them being nursed on lies & diaper changed on denial makes them weakly & stink the high heaven.
The little brat with start up money designing the next FB "but nicer" in my house just had to find a new place to live & run his business. He, of course, doesn't think censorship is the problem with FB, it's because it doesn't have the right bells & whistles or something like that lol, and there's people with millions of dollars that think he might be right.
I did enjoy talking with him for the 1st few years but I couldn't get him to realize that censorship is their key issue. After he figured out I was for Trump you could see the eyes roll. Whenever I showed him contradictions in his logic it was me that wasn't making sense. Whenever he got angry, it was me that was emotional, etc etc. I have learned how to stay calm & logical even in a barrage of insults. Meanwhile, he somehow thinks his fallacies are right. At some point that bubble's got to break. Maybe his investors will pull back, idk. That will effect his lifestyle, his life, his credibility among his peers, etc. He hasn't gotten the barrage of abuse we have so he's not ready for it. It'll hit him hard.
Meanwhile I was talking to my liberal sibling lately too. He also thinks High tech CEO's are too powerful too. WOW! Tell me more, I asked......
