What is complicated? You give two bullet points and a potential solution that all fall under the umbrella of "paying someone." This solves the problem.

Ah, yes. The far away time when "Far Right" just meant ideologically conservative and not the wannabe brownshirts. So long ago, 2012.

A simpler time.

Oh man, I would browse while on the shitter at work. It used to be one of my OGs. A lot of tinfoil. And you'd get the deep dives that didn't feel politically motivated (compared to today).

Then, the Trumpeting.

Like everything else not stapled down circa 2016, it was an easy target for the Russian firehose of falsehood: an entire community of people wanting to believe some alternative bullshit.

Yaaa, let's blame the sentiments of observers for killing Ukrainians, not the genocidal kgb agent and the country where 88% of the voters reelected him...

Couldn't the same be said for the proof of dark matter?

They were able to make some observations fit with their theory with dark matter yes, but not all of them

I've thought about this a lot lately, especially since having kids. It really hit me how much non-verbal and indirect communication they pick up on. I want my kids to be good people, better than me, and I worry they are picking up on my short comings.

I think society is like that. We say sharing is good and we teach sharing, but a disproportionate group that takes everything, that is selfish, that puts there priorities above others.. that behavior is rewarded, intentionally or not. And generations go by and the behavior is normalized.

I like (and shudder) to think alot of history is a series of these little oversteps that the masters of the universe are laughing about at the time.. "trickle down economics, can you believe they are buying this shit?!" And 50 years later, after 2 generations the supporters forgot it was all a scam and are genuinely believers.
