2021-03-26 at 6 AM UTCSince covid started, contrarians, medical professionals with unorthodox views, conspiracy theorists, etc--anyone not aping the official line put out by the government/pharmaceutical industry alliance--have been shut down, banned, deplatformed, fired--censored, in other words.
The guys who try to prevent other guys from speaking are never the good guys. -

What if everything they say about the virus is completely true, wouldn't it add to the danger if people were to spread misinformation (Remember this is a what if) that would disrupt the solution?
Surely in that case you'd need them to shut the fuck up if it endangered the world right?
Whether the narrative is true or not I can understand their reasons for it, so I don't think it can be used to strengthen an argument against them. -

This is all true.
But deplatforming or censoring opposing views is never the answer. Leave it to the people to decide who they wanna listen to. Random people on the interwebz, or government"experts".
With that said, i don't have trust in either of em. -
