The number of people in this thread defending the right to spread billionaire-funded lies, propaganda, and misinformation under the guise of free-speech is drop-dead astonishing. Like, I can see why civilization could fail on a massive scale if a critical mass of the population starts to believe the opposite of the truth, and declares war on those trying to explain.

> billionaire-funded lies

Pretty sure most people are forming their opinions on their own. That some of them you don't care for doesn't mean they've been bought by some mind-melding monster.

Facts are different than opinions. When you lie you lie. If you're so distorted by Trump's daily lies, then I pity you.
I find it amusing that I can't tell what side you are on.
Heisencomment.
Are you referring to Bill Gates?
