  I recommend you take strides to learn how propaganda works, most specifically the purpose of shifting opinion (i.e. the Overton Window): “I’m just asking questions” and “I’ll let anyone speak” are two of the most effective methods of propaganda.

    Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.

    You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.

    You are going to grasp at whatever straw you can to get rid of people saying things you don’t like.

      Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.

      This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It’s also a misunderstanding of “free speech” – even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.

      You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.

      Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of “let everyone speak”.

      Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse – probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.

        I tried giving you an opportunity, but I’m going to block you now.

        You people will just respond incessantly until you get what you want, so I’m going to let you have the last word.

        Goodbye.

      Companies censor ideas all the time. McDonald’s employees don’t tell their customers how ugly they are… it’s against company policy. Youtube is a company that can implement whatever company policies they like and if you don’t like it you can go somewhere else.

        Yeah. You want to misconstrue it as “misinformation” so that you’re automatically correct with no discussion involved and you can censor anyone who disagrees with you.

        I’m going to ignore you now.
