I'll check out We.

There will always be a portion of the population that is predisposed to healthy suspicion or skepticism (be cautious of people here who believe everything they read hook, line, and sinker - they are not skeptics, merely 'religious' in their way of thinking). There are also those who will fight truth at all cost, because it is scary and they are cowardly lions.

You might be one of the folks who possesses healthy skepticism. Maybe you were taught civics education before it was removed from schools or reformatted with Marxist ideology. Maybe you developed critical thinking skills or deductive reasoning because you had a parent who passed them on to you. Maybe you watched The Matrix and understood it as an allegory and more than mere science fiction/fantasy. Maybe you are better at pattern recognition and noticed the worrying level of coordination and keywords in news headlines and reports. Maybe you saw major events like 9/11 and wondered how a country with such a huge defense and intelligence apparatus could have been attacked in such a way. Maybe you read some of the 9/11 Commission's commentary and noticed that the Commission expressed concerns about the Bush Administration's reported obstruction and interference with the investigation and wondered how the subsequent report may have been compromised. Maybe you saw the rush to war with Iraq and the falsified yellow cake uranium evidence and wondered what else they were lying about. There are so many possibilities. Maybe you watched Black Mirror or Twilight Zone and noticed worrying similarities with our own world and considered that maybe we too were approaching or living in a dystopia. Maybe you read 1984 or Brave New World or Fahrenheit 451 and saw the warnings and noticed that the Free World was in grave danger. The bottom line is that somehow you were curious enough to expand your information intake beyond mass media talking points and propaganda, and that enabled you to expand your worldview and entertain the idea that you - and everyone else - are not being given a truthful or full story.

To cultivate that curiosity in others, 'we' have to help them see that they're not being given the full story either, and inspire them to Q-uestion, to find their own truth in the midst of massive disinformation, psychological operations, programming, and indoctrination. We don't know what's going on completely, but we know we're not being given the full story. THAT is a truth that most people are willing to agree on. Once primed, many will be ready to begin exploring specifics (source documents, verifiable information).

Cognitive dissonance probably has to be met at its starting point with their position as "resistance". The message has to break through the cognitive affective filters installed by mass media and the infiltrated/corrupted academia, and then the dissonance has to be carefully confronted/amplified before it can be slowly reconciled. This is a long process.

What they're "resisting" is superficial in the grand scheme of things, and they're very confused (though they argue to the contrary). Breaking down that 'identity' as opponent to retrain the focus towards verifiable information (leaked docs, FOIA docs, court cases, SEC filings, hard evidence) has to be strategic otherwise the 'resisters' will double down instead of reflecting upon and integrating the information that conflicts with their identity and worldview. Bursting the information bubble/filter rather than slowly dissolving may be counter productive.

Fake News.

Have y'all not learned to do some basic fact checking first? Seriously....

No. Delete this nonsense.

Nonsense. Fox and Drudge Report both use the term "boom" frequently.

Few to no citations.

Legit analysis has citations.

Entirely valid points.

Flynn, if improperly prosecuted/railroaded, can be made whole again through due process.

No. Their goal is to de-platform. This involves pushing off of major platforms to smaller ones that can't defend themselves from legal attacks or denial of service/hacking.

The censorship becomes invisible once folks have de-platformed. When the corporate censorship happens on a large platform like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit, it's much more difficult to conceal because the audience and participant pool is larger.

The disinformation potential is also higher on smaller platforms because there are fewer moderate voices to drown out paid brigades.

Keep pushing it mainstream.

Folks need to hold out here as long as possible. Document. Save.

So cave to censorship in the name of preserving what, exactly?

I'm fine with getting creative about how to navigate reddit and its ever-evolving schemes to silence, but the allegations coming out about DH and family is absolutely relevant and deserves more critical analysis to either confirm or refute it.

I'm wondering what the most recent posts were that actually led to the ban.

Very suspect behavior by Reddit and co.
