It's like the bullshit on climate change, where paid contrarians have been given equal time with genuine scientists for decades.
It relies on the assumption that if 100 engineers say a bridge is unsafe, but the guy in the toll both says it's fine, we should believe toll booth guy.
I am pretty sure he is descended from Reinhard Heydrich.

07.10.2025 14:44 — 👍 1 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0They seem very insistent on this "doxing". Surely doxing refers only to non-public information? I can quite understand why someone would be ashamed to admit they are with ICE, but it's hardly a closely-held private fact, especially if you're out there on the streets disappearing brown people.

Is the topic of COVID vaccine disinformation too broad / tangential? Specifically, the careful statements of scientists (which always include limits of certainty) versus the black-and-white "died suddenly" lie?
It was like watching a speed run of the Wakefield fraud.
Isn't this wage theft?
