Dismissing someone because they hold a viewpoint you disagree with is childish and dangerous to our society. By that logic we should all be dismissing CNN reporting because they were peddling Covington kids and russian collusion among other things proven to be false. We should all be striving to take in all sources of information and use our best judgement to judge and interpret them.

There is a host of terms used in that thread that point to the person as a conspiracy theorist. "The Cabal", "The Great Reset". These are terms used in the Qanon community constantly.

It has to do with the person lacking credibility based on their own statements than them holding an opposing viewpoint.

I have no idea what those things are and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but the twitter post referenced a wsj.com article. I don't think we should shoot him down for linking to a trusted source.
> Russian Collusion

There is really strong evidence that there is Russian Collusion. The Muller report is full of actions by the Trump election team that point to them working in conjunction with Russia and Russian Agents.
