I am 100% fine with censorship of known falsehoods.

Known to whom? You unilaterally give your side (in any argument) right to decide what’s a “known falsehood” and then to use force to censor it.

That’s literally why gun ownership is a necessity for a healthy society.

Let them appeal it in court.

Bullshit. Nobody is obligated to prove their right to a voice.

Even the tools behind 1/6, besides the biggest tool at the top, won’t even risk perjury and probably contempt, in court, with the risk of jail, unlimited fines, and permenant censorship from mass media on the line.

I often write and say such, less easily comprehensible than normal, sentences in my native language, but sadly I am not proficient enough in English to understand yours. I think I get the general emotion which kinda proves that you are even openly dreaming of abusing such a system.

I would prefer the falsehood to left up, colored a deep red and shrunk down to like 8pt font with a pop up on your curser that comes up when you hover over it, stating the fact of what it is; such as ‘unproven’, ‘demostrably false’ hyperlinked to evidence, ‘conjecture’, or ‘MTG - Jewish Space Laser crazy’.

I think there are browser extensions for this kind of thing exactly, and with today’s widespread use of various AI’s these can be even more satisfactory to all your goals except those which should be countered with gunfire.

Pick up social issue, it doesn’t matter your stance on it. Chances are, there is a science behind it that clearly takes a position. Facts over feelings.

Usually that position would be taken with hostility by all sides relevant in the society, or distorted to fit their narrative. Facts are always stronger than feelings in the outside world, while feelings are always stronger than facts in your head (or mine).

Changing your mind when given new information is a strength, not a weakness. Doubling down on error…? That’s some flat earth, you are definitely going to an old folks home now, kind of shit. That’s how it looks. Onset dementia.

This paragraph of yours is quite close to how onset dementia looks like IRL.

I apologize to those with real onset dementia, we know you didn’t choose it, you’re still worthy of respect.

Well, then surely you are going to visit a doctor after my advice?
