I can see the insanity on both sides.

But being able to see both sides doesn't mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They're not.

Without a doubt. Just saying it’s not 100% on the right.

Hard to know what to do about it when the people who are the most susceptible to misinformation are often the ones who think they’re the least susceptible to misinformation.

And no I don’t just mean right wing chuds. I’ve found there’s a heavy correlation between people who are certain they are immune to propaganda and know the real truth and people who have, in fact, been conned by propaganda and misinformation. Conspiracy theorists, MLM adherents, antivax weirdos, homeopathy people … they’re all “doing their own research” so they can’t be conned.

The hubris is always a dead giveaway. A sort of Dunning-Kruger thing.

For what it’s worth I totally acknowledge that I can be and have been tricked by misinformation and propaganda.

This shit looks incredible! I almost never buy games on day 1 but I can't resist. Hopefully my local Target will have it in stock on Friday.

It's the biggest coaching failure I can think of in recent memory, if not my lifetime. How do you screw that up? That's what the victory formation is for!

Poll inertia, 100%. Also the only reason Georgia is #1.

I’m checking the score and doing whatever incantations I can to make tOSU lose 🤞

As a lurker who doesn't post much:

Improve the quality of the platform. Fix the moderation issues. Find a solution to communities being fragmented across multiple servers. Keep improving reliability. And so on.
