Should anyone be able to say boldfaced lies, reinforced through coordinated efforts with co-conspirators, both real and fake, at such a rapid pace that the value of speech is reduced to nothing?

If no, how do we fix this issue of coordinated, high velocity misinformation?

I'm sure there's a quid pro quo.

And they won't apologize for their behavior, but will certainly bark back that you're an elitist.

At their core, many are just bullies and it nicely appeals to the emotionally stunted desires of their base.

I recently watched a Nazi documentary on Netflix, and the parallels beyond concerning. If Trump is elected, you should expect Brown Shirt like violence.

For those who think my statement is alarmist, it takes time for fascist propaganda to build inertia, and we're somewhere in the middle of the progression. If you're paying attention, you can see and hear the rhetoric getting more violent. They are following a similar playbook to the Nazis by stimulating the rural communities with more and more nationalist rhetoric.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas' attack.

Those are just premeditated accidental killings. It's very different.
