They removed the article? Anyone know why?

At least prove a point.

Oh, I think you're doing just fine on that front. (And let's not pretend like "proof" or "evidence" have any relevance when making claims that not only have no basis in reality, like "conservatives don't talk about crypto", but obviously seek to supplant it).

But again, you'd be much more effective if you dress up facts rather than fiction. You also need to build up to the absurd, not start with it. You can't just convince people that reality is actually the opposite of what is perceived. You first need to shake up trust in consensus based reality and basic scientific knowledge, and only then start to gradually inteoduce the spectacle in a piecemeal fashion.

I mean, if you're gonna engage in disinformation then at least read the wikipedia page on whatever topic you are targetting so you can come up with something that's more believable. Disinfo is most effective when it is based on some true information taken out of context.

It feels like all the people here criticizing her for fantastical or illogical reasons (usually a mixture of both) are just envious of her.

AOC is doing the bare minimum?

Care to enlighten everyone what you've been doing these last few years? Must be something really special and meaningful.

There are no wildflowers on the road to hell, but it is paved with good intentions.

C is right there only if you're naive enougn to believe it.

Most people don't want war. Yet they will go to war, each side convinced in their own self-righteousness. That is the human condition. Picking wildflowers isn't going to stop the Nazi boot or anything else for that matter. Another way to think about it - Charlie Chaplin's messages in the 1930s were great, full of hope, and reached a lot of people. But that was nowhere near what was needed. Tens of millions had to die. It's not gonna be any different this time around, Chaplin or no Chaplin.

I didn't use to, and I am generally against limiting access to any sort of source of information. But the last few years have convinced me otherwise - the owners of these platforms are willing to destroy our way of life for their own personal benefit. Fuck Zuck. Fuck Musk. Fuck all of these charlatans and conmen.

Edit: oh, and the EU isn't a country (yet), it's a supranational organization which presents unique challenges in terms of policy. Def not a country
