There was some back and forth in the Dungeon about disinformation and the Russians and how we have been scammed. We see debate today as bad . Just look at COVID and the pandemic. If you dare ask a question you're MAGA wearing KKK neanderthal white supremacists. Some have hinted at putting limits on the First Amendment. Social media sites censor stuff which they think is disinformation. Distrust is every where from all sides and it is largely because we injected politics into it all especially things dealing with science and health.
We are losing trust in our institutions because we can no longer have a rational debate and debate the merits and ideas without the poison of personal attacks and politics constantly being injected into the discourse. It will be our downfall if you ask me. We need to be able to be openly skeptic ,have reasonable disagreement and do so without tearing down the other side constantly.. if we continue to isolate and marginalize one another it just splits the chasm wider and wider and fuels distrust while appealing to our base tribal instincts .
I am curious though . Here are two articles regarding food and they contradict each other . Which one is disinformation? Which one needs to be silenced and removed from the internet?
