Disinformation such as?

There was massive fraud, facilitated by Dominion Voting systems?

Or by miscounting, and that observers were kept away?

Or that there was massive fraud by Smartmatic?

There were a Kraken of court cases that had some merit?

That one is likely true.

The Kracken shit pushed by Sidney Powell is likely not true. However, part of figuring out that was full of shit was by actually being able to discuss it with other people, including those who genuinely thought it was true. It seems to me you just hate the idea that not everyone believes the same things you do, and just want it labeled as misinformation, and have then censored, and effectively doxxed to the government.

That one is likely true.

There were people claiming that the election observers were removed from the counting room somewhere. And had to observe from outside the room, and the windows were boarded up.

This was bullshit. Observers from both parties were not excluded.

This shit

The Kracken shit pushed by Sidney Powell is likely not true.

Yeah. The lawsuits have all fallen flat. And reasonably so. And Powell et al. are facing disbarment for bringing cases to the court without them having any merit.

But there were people saying "this list of lawsuits is in front of the courts" or "these lawsuits are being appealed because they were thrown out by democratic planted judges". Which if you looked up the lawsuits was just wrong.

However, part of figuring out that was full of shit was by actually being able to discuss it with other people, including those who genuinely thought it was true.

Sure. But if you're looking for the people that were spreading disinformation intentionally you start with the group of people spreading disinformation, and then you see if they're paid disinformation specialists. And if they had intention to seed violence.

It seems to me you just hate the idea that not everyone believes the same things you do

That's not true. I believe Tyrannosaurus Rex had feathers, but I would be interested in speaking to an informed person who believes the opposite. I believe that the earth is an oblate spheroid, but I would not be interested in speaking to someone who believes it is flat, in most cases. Because they'd have to be fucking stupid.

I do hate that people have beliefs that make them want to destroy people or property, when those beliefs are also stupid. And because it results in activity that is quite appropriately designated criminal, how should that be dealt with?

Not allow people to leave the school system until they can demonstrate some basic critical thinking?

Make being dumb as a rock itself illegal?

Accept that we're going to live in a society in which enemy nations are increasingly going to instigate riots and violence?

Or move against some of the malicious spreading of misinformation?

None of those are great, but some are better than others.

You hate free speech, and should probably run back to reddit, where your kind are appreciated.

I do hate that people have beliefs that make them want to destroy people or property, when those beliefs are also stupid.

And so I ask again: Because it results in activity that is quite appropriately designated criminal, how should that be dealt with?
