They are explicitly lying. This is the problem. The people claiming to "safeguard truth" have all along been the liars. They are thoroughly and completely destroying trust in the institutions in which we were - until 2008 - mutually engaged. The "truth police" are themselves the liars.

It has always been thus. This is why censorship is always the tell-tale for authoritarian / totalitarian government.

They don't want their disinformation debunked.

I think it was on here somewhere that it was defined as:

Disinformation = Dissenting information

What schizo dumbasses want to believe. The far right attacks the 90% who aren't fooled by the disinformation. It's not difficult to understand facts.

It's a war of words back and forth. When it's done the rest of us who missed most or all of it are left with trying to sort one lie out from another.

Thank the LORD almighty that you and a few others are so much smarter than everyone else. Much appreciated.

Probably depends where you live and what you're doing. Live in a reasonably educated suburb or city, this "far right", as in rednecks and facebook boomers, basically doesn't exist. Most of my peers are liberals by a circa 2013ish definition, but would be labeled "far right" by your average leftist NPC for seeing through the bs with COVID, or being aware that MSM is a torrent of propaganda.

The far left consider opinions and feelings to be facts, and when caught out, claim 'their truth' to be factual, which is demonstrably false.

They also claim anyone who disagrees with them to be far right, which invokes suggestions that they are somehow bigots, fascists, racists or Nazis, for holding perfectly reasonable views.

It is my observation that those who begin to see through media and left wing lies and disinformation turn more centrist, which in your opinion is basically white supremacisy.

Leftists clearly hate the freedom to express opinion because it allows for questioning narratives, and by questioning narratives you must allow for intelligent debate, something the left absolutely cannot stand up to.

Yeah, It's terrible when it comes from the left but the right can also be bad...

Yes We have to watch out for the extremists from both parties.

They hate democracy. You can't have true Democracy without free speech. They want to change every rule that permits a free and open democracy, with accountability and checks-n-ballances.
