Billionaire Philanthropy

Maybe instead of giving mansions to the family members of Supreme Court justices, showering them with lavish gifts, and buying Nazi memorabilia; it sounds like Harlan Crow could have done the most good for everyone by instead buying them civics lessons and basic human decency.

That's just my opinion though.

A key problem is that there are not enough sanctions for right-wing misinformation/disinformation

If a thermometer gives you a temperature that indicates that it is freezing outside but it is hot outside, then you discard the thermometer.

But yet we have people, take this woman for example, she regularly tells people to get out of New York or cities because terrorism is about to happen or that Iranian passports were found at the scene of an accident that she herself said was a terrorist attack.

I am of course talking about Laura Loomer or Laura “Iranian Passports” Loomer. Her not losing all credibility is on us.

I see people say we’re in a fight for democracy itself, for the Republic itself. It’s time to start acting like it. And it starts here, today. Hyperlinking can nudge search results to discussions, I want to aim searching for Laura Loomer to her Iranian passports claim. And we can do that.

If I see “Laura Loomer” mentioned in a thread, I will link to that page. If I see “Michael Flynn” mentioned in a thread, I will provide a link to the RW-infopedia page on “Michael Flynn” and his false and more fantastic claims. I will do this for other bad actors, and I suggest others do the same from here on out.

It’s time to start fighting back against right-wing disinformation, and this is just one prong in a strategy that starts today. If we want to coordinate this in a more concrete way, please send me a PM.
