When Al-Qaeda themselves claimed responsibility, even with overwhelming evidence aside? Why were so many people still reluctant, I was researching about this stuff and was shocked to see people who I respect a lot believe in this

    Or we could just do what’s proven to work.

    One lie-spewing puppet for the people who like vanilla. Another for those who prefer chocolate. Maybe a third for those strawberry-loving weirdos.

    We want to keep them (the oblivious masses) marching in the right direction. That’s all. Truth is utterly beside the point.

        Spoken like a good, right-thinking citizen. You clearly consume only the most truthful of news-streams.

          The projection is delicious, you have no idea where I get my info from.

          But I bet dollars to donuts that you have newsmax on your bookmarks bar.

            Ok

            Spoken like a bad, wrong-thinking citizen. You clearly consume only the most dishonest of news-streams.

            Better?

                I honestly don’t even know what a “newsmax” is. Is that the “bad” news stream?

                Just out of curiosity, what’s the “good” news stream?

                  No single stream, that’s the point. Everyone has a bias and only comparing different perspectives can you approach something objective.

                  Every forum becomes enshittified over a few years so there is no single place you can go anymore with even a hint of objectivity.

                  See everything and think for yourself and wonder why people are spending so much energy convincing you their bias is correct.
