an exploiter of that; and it's not special to the U.S. or capitalism but is every f'n where.
We here just take special insult that we have to put up with it, but that's the downside of freedom of speech -- the irresponsible use of that freedom. Makin' shit up is irresponsible. When it's for profit it's fraud.

I hate that abuses of freedom make people distrust the value of democracy as a bulwark of human advancement; we're just gonna have to try harder to strengthen people's courage toward honesty and openness to new information.
