I don't need to consider "alternate beliefs" that are just lies. There's this idea that if I'm not constantly reading stuff by straight up Nazis, that I won't understand that they are Nazis. Not having to read nonsense as possible facts is one of the really cool things about having critical thinking skills.

@RickiTarr this. a hundred times. A thousand times.. every time I see “ideology that driving the current admin” “silicon valley’s enlightenment” … etc., I want to reach through the screen. It doesn’t take a bloody genius to see what’s happening. Stop pretending.
