The problem with attempts to controll knowledge, aka limit it, is that it has a tendency to spiral. You limit information about this and that- some zealous partymonger goes astray and limits all the information related. Next you have a famine and because of the involved parties guilt about the dysfunction, knowledge is limited even further. You either have all the information, including the one about retardations going awry in the past. Or you do not and spiral down to become one of those figures in the history lectures doing bizar things, repeating past failures. Looking both ways in this comment. The whole narrative control thing of the left, which is completely blind to physical realities causing problems and makes everything a theater-society-production with a racist villian is almost as disgusting as the ahistoric "isolationism will solve our problems" of the right.

Any thoughts on the "narrative control thing of the" US right as detailed in this article?

Friend. After one of the more recent bigger political event in US, which, in more sane times, would have made most people pause, I asked people from 'the other side', if they would be willing to reconsider their current stance on 'speech', its limits and what is acceptable within society. They were not.

I guess what I am saying is that you probably should not be surprised when some will eventually say 'what is good for the goose'. I am personally not there yet, but I assure you it is a tempting position to take..

And this is before we ignore the background of potential ww3, normal election cycle tension and unusual, but very potent, vibes of potential civil war.

So... cool it with the US right, because you yourself are not helping. At all. More than that. You are actively making things worse. Good job?

There's a big difference between narratives plausibly based in fact and some shared version of reality - even if stretched and imperfect at times - versus narratives formed knowingly and deliberately out of lies.

"Both sides are bad" is simply untrue. One side is definitely categorically worse.
