There is notably less shilling at /r/conspiracy recently. I actually had a post break double digits, which hasnt happened in months due to the brigading scripts that ShareBlue/MediaMatters/SPLC/TMoR usually run.

Listen, insults aside- you have a right to an opinion and so do I. Each of us seems to be the political/ideological antithesis of each other. That being said...however biased you think our side is, you can't deny that your side has clear and observable biases of its' own. There is no "perfect" news source. And the only reasonable discussion possible on this subject is based around factual/evidentiary debate...meaning, if you see something that is provably incorrect, you point it out and explain why. If I see something that is provably incorrect, I'll do the same. It's time for the two factions to stop bickering and focus on our real enemies. While it's tempting for me to add an obligatory "Go fuck yourself" to my closing argument, it's pointless- an energy sink. All that matters is truth.
I give less than two dry fucks what you do with the proverbial olive branch- you can use it for a dildo if you want. If you truly believed that there are less than "two factions," you wouldn't be on here starting shit. I have no time or desire to continue arguing with you- it is the incarnate epitome of the word "meaningless."
You will continue to insist that there was no systemic electoral fraud, I will continue to insist that there was...you will continue to insist that a Military investigation is the penultimate evil, I will continue to insist that the US Military is an unbiased/neutral third party...you will continue to argue that MSM is factual and informative, I will continue to insist that it is brainwashing propaganda and that crowd-sourced news is more informative. I will argue that the civil rights guaranteed by the US Constitution are worth preserving, you will demand that they be repealed and replaced. You will call me a Nazi and I will insist that you are an advocate of Communism- I think that about covers it. Insults have taken the place of factual debate.
There is absolutely nothing productive here. This conversation embodies everything that is wrong with the modern political debate and merely shines a flashlight into the abyss that divides estranged Countrymen.

Re-read my post. Leftists consider Martial Law to be the "penultimate evil" because they incorrectly believe it will lead to, or be used to establish a Dictatorship. Therefore, the "last but one in a series of things; second last." Feel free to question what particular hominid species I belong to...but my use of vocabulary (in this instance) is contextually accurate.
