a question on conspiracy theories and how to deal

[confusedseeker]

I'm curious what opinions are regarding censorship of "conspiracy theorists" such as David Icke on the Internet/social media. I'm not asking if you believe anything he says. I'm asking what you think of censoring alternative news/views (mostly cropped up now because of COVID).

I think its obligatory.

This is more deep than just conspiracy theorists, but also applies to them.

Basically you cant let people 'create reality' through lies. The moment you let that, some people will take advantage of it for personal gain and you end up with situations like in US in which people deny actual reality and cripple the society, harming others.

Of course it goes far deeper - if you allow Nazis to organize under freedom of speech and organization to, well, end freedom of speech and organization, you eventually end up with them just doing what they openly declare they would do.

Its the same situation with what Ra says about the thought wars in higher densities and how Confederation ends up having to reject what is offered by negative entities because otherwise they couldnt be positive.

Lol, nazis.
