The main issue being it's now automated and at scale with multiple tools available for generating and publishing wrongness.

Correcting such is a task at least an order of magnitude bigger than the problem 😕

Remember when they said, "wow some random strangers on the internet has changed my mind about x. thanks!"

Me neither. Most of the time the convo will only turn rage-bait-y and ruin everyone's day.

I don't get paid to put my energy correcting some randos & trolls.

What's difficult is making anybody conscious to be wrong, on the Internet.

Once, communication with a wide audience was driven by entities with some authority on that media. Somebody authoritative, some other authoritarian, but whatever the narration always showing to be "right".
Hence, anybody writing on this media (like I do now) feels to have inherited that power to be "right". G'd lk

If freedom is something you value, then the freedom to be wrong is part of that

So is the freedom to face consequences for conduct & learn to do better

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/15/fascist-fashion-language

Sometimes though, there's a small voice inside enjoying the schadenfreude of MAGA's hard lessons on the stupidity of fascism

They wanted "freedum" & now they pay a price, along with us

They were FURIOUS when I took all identifiers & links to them off my website. Many ppl are like that: they want the engagement. The best punishment you can mete out is to ignore and even block.
