However, that is not the reason we were given for the captcha. Nobody would have been able to sell it by saying, "this will slow everything down to a snail's pace." Instead, we were given the whole "WMDs in Iraq" speech, and when no "WMDs" were found, (i.e. no shills/bots/spammers were hindered,) (you just moved the goalpost and said "screw you/you're a shill/it was done to slow evryone down.")
Exactly like I was saying. NOW you're denying moving the goalposts, by pretending that there never was any mention of the captcha doing anything to stop spam/bots/shills…
This is a circular argument, just like the bureaucratic Deep State uses for every wrong-headed, red-tape regulation they implement. The goal is manipulation and control, power over anons, enjoying your ability to forcefeed and bend other human being to your will, regardless of how repetitive and frustrating your little regulation is…
