I kind of miss honesty, though.

Honest debate was the ultimate adventure. Sad its gone, replaced by yelling matches in feeling hive-mind choirs. Guess this how medieval times felt, with oppossing faiths.
At least for now we still have the yelling matches where people of different faiths can yell at each other without fear of burning at a stake. Getting "cancelled" as a result of yelling the unpopular thing is still less painful than torture and execution on the town's plaza.

"For now" and "still" are the words which I had to insert in the above, and their forced presence seriously scares me.

"Guess this how medieval times felt, with oppossing faiths."

And we all know that led to...crusades?

Welp.
