Are they spoon fed sheep that can't think for themselves? People have minds and are capable of independent thinking, WE DONT NEED THOUGHT POLICE!

The problem is that is you can find tons of videos, articles,discussions, usually including a phD or professor giving support of what ever angle you are looking to support. So down the rabbit hole they go, so to their knowledge, they are the most informed in the room about conspiracy 6a or whatever and then the truth gets called a cover up or that’s what they want you to think, but due the fucked nature of giant companies, it’s not that far fetched you could totally see lots of soulless corporations doing exactly that, and just like that it spreads and spreads until committing treason seems justifiable, cuz the great leader loses like a crybaby bitch and needed our help

The annoying cheeto rumble and the summer of love riots, 2 sides of the same coin. Price of free speech, both were wrong but it is better than censorship in all its forms. Who decides what "truth" is? For decades it was the MSM that was the bullhorn now its a new landscape and information is finally free.

Ya, and that's been going just swimmingly. From pseudoscience, to misinformation, to conspiracy-pushing groups such as Q-Anon, everyone's opinion has an equal platform. Yay.

Yes it has, people have THE CHOICE to believe or disbelieve the foil hats. Its all about independent thought, don't believe them and follow mainstream, good on you, follow Q and company down to flat earth land run by illiminati, good on you as well. Shit if you want to believe we live on a giant turtle swimming in space while worshipping a chainsaw named Fred good on you too. Why try and stop ideas, nobody should decide what is right or wrong except the person hearing it.

>Why try and stop ideas

The only reason I will give is that certain ideas are harmful to society, simple as that. Whether that is justification for censorship or not, well, that's up for debate.
