Advocating for authoritarianism from an anarchist instance. Interesting. Yes, we have major problems with misinformation in the United States. And it's coming from within the government. You don't hand that fucking government that power. There is no authoritarian easy fix. The only way to fix this is to foster curiosity and a desire to actually inform oneself.

What you describe is a generational fix. We need something that can improve conditions tomorrow

That thing doesn't exist and what was proposed would only make it worse.

Again - defeatist attitude, predicting outcomes without data

Anything proposed without facts or data can be dismissed without facts or data. And you've given none. So what are you even calling out?
Do I really need to give you more data. When we are literally discussing one of the countries that polices/suppresses speech the most? I wouldn't trust our government with it. Let alone China's. Hell go look up lysenkoism and the persecution Vavilov suffered under a similar administration. Then tell me with a straight face they will value facts regardless of their convenience. Historically its a horrific idea. But I do look forward to any facts or data you have that proves otherwise.
