Are they conspiracies when they start becoming true though? I remember when the vaccine mandates and passports were a "conspiracy" at the begging of the COVID lockdowns. Now, here we are...
Not unlike the censoring any discussion of the lab leak hypothesis they (the censors) better be perfectly accurate every single time.
The moment they get it wrong and censor something that turns out to be the truth they lose 100% of their credibility and become a part of the conspiracy themselves.
I remember having to provide vaccine proof to get my kids into public school, when enrolling them into college. How is this a new thing? Why is it such a big deal now? Why are these people kicking up such a fuss now?
The reason: GOP makes money and gains power by proving people will believe anything they say. This is a blind power grab and the only reason it is an issue is because it is a great talking point. Tucker Carlson and the like are only doing this to get money, why no one sees that is beyond me.
I agree, however how do you deal with folks knowingly spreading misinformation for financial gain? Most of the "sources" have an active interest in having people listen to them and will say anything that will get more people to tune in, no matter the content.
Do we just let them continue in an age where there are morons out there that will believe anything that is written in a coherent sentence or posted to Youtube with cool background music? At some point we have to hold people accountable, as this is straight up murder in some cases. Remember that girl that convinced her boyfriend to kill himself?
You may never, but by deplatforming them, you're only feed the conspiracies.
