@Master_Jester13 I would love it!!!
I'd need to wear sunglasses and if we find a discreet location, I'd like you to piss on my face or piss in a water bottle so I can drink it.
Fauci spread false information about gays and AIDS for many years decades ago.
He was damaging in every possible way - to gays, to the virus, to the reputation of people with AIDS.
And yet he was never held to account for it. He was rewarded and celebrated.
In fact, in one of the most blatant rewritings of history, @briantylercohen complimented Fauciโs work on AIDS from the 80โs while on CNN last night with @Elex_Michaelson.
Elex just nodded along.
Not true. Not journalism.
We are living through a massive information crisis in which at least half the population is being systematically misinformed, making any sane national debate increasingly difficult. Without a shared factual foundation, there is nothing to discuss. People are not merely drawing different conclusions from the same evidence. They are living in entirely different realities.
That is what makes the Fauci story so tragic. He caused untold harm, yet millions of people know almost nothing about it. We can debate precisely how large a role Fauci played in the creation of Covid, but half the country does not even know that Covid came from a lab. We are therefore several steps removed from the basic conditions required to have an intelligent discussion.
Other facts are even more black and white. Fauciโs private diary contradicts what he told the public. His own words reveal a man of almost limitless narcissism. These are not matters of interpretation. They are documented facts. Yet we still cannot have a national conversation about them because the media either refuses to report them or actively lies about them. Anyone who is not on Twitter, which is most people, may never encounter the underlying evidence at all.
The result is that I increasingly find it almost impossible to discuss any of this with ordinary people, whether family members, acquaintances, or people at events or birthday parties. Unless someone has followed the evidence closely, there is no common starting point. Before you can debate what happened, you first have to dismantle at least ten years of falsehoods and omissions.
I do not know how this ends, but it is not sustainable. A country cannot function indefinitely when its people are no longer capable of discussing almost anything beyond sports on the basis of shared factual knowledge.
@ElonVisioniX LBJ's welfare programs that allowed single mothers to live off of welfare & made father's dispensable, + Kennedy's immigration rules that discriminated against European immigrants in favor of immigrants from the Third World who came en masse with their terrible, failed cultures.
