I can sympathize with people that don't want to explain common and obvious truths to people who are brainwashed.
I have talked with conspiracy deniers who don't even accept basic common knowledge facts that are counter narrative, and I don't have time for that.
We make time for that! You aren't having a one-on-one conversation to persuade the other party, but rather a public discourse where the other party is actually a sockpuppet army whose collective goal is to persuade everyone reading.
Now do you see why truth tellers always lose?
I disagree with the always lose part. The sockpuppet account is definitely possible.
I think the biggest problem with spreading the truth is that most people can't handle it. Even "no nonsense" Adam Carolla said if it were true that 9/11 was an inside job he didn't want to know because it would mess up his perception of reality. Basically like "hey don't spoil my good time".
So you get to sit back and take 5 seconds to say "nuhhh uhhh, Retailers aren't leaving the city in droves, you're being dramatic".
And I am supposed to respond by reading and linking to 15 articles?
Yeah, no....
You provide sources.... You read and link to me 15 articles telling me why the murders and shootings shown here don't count: https://heyjackass.com
Where are you quoting me from? It doesn't look like something I said in this thread.
Oops... My bad... Dropped a comment in the wrong thread.
