RE: I Experienced The Toxic Hellscape of Anti-Libertarian Crypto Disinformation That Spread "Education" Of Leftists & Government Cronies

Propaganda... I love how people say "It is just factually wrong" without taking the time to prove anything. They choose to ignore a required truth about "facts". Facts have nothing to do with your opinions. Opinions do not make things into facts.
I can't visit such places long they make my blood boil. Before I discovered Steemit I used to dive into subreddits on reddit and debate there from time to time. I used to call it Trench warfare. I had to limit how much I did it but I would do it occasionally just to improve my skills in interacting with B.S. narratives with no critical thinking existing.
I have no interest in doing it these days. Your post shows me that places like that are still the same but in this era of rampant censorship they are actually worse. They are actually nothing more than gigantic echo chambers where the only people allowed to speak are people pushing B.S. like in your example.
Propaganda...
I've seen some stuff on Reddit. This new scourge is FAAAR worse! I totally get the blood boiling part. It's insane how messed up these articles can get. After seeing these I can no longer think of Ayn Rand's depictions of these characters from bureaucratic tyrants to be eve slightly exaggerated. They weren't some oversimplifications with heightened traits. There are people who think liberty is some disease and nothing is the fault of anyone and problems can't be fixed by solutions. They also act like nobody can take responsibility for anything good they achieve. If they were to believe in personal responsibility- they'll have to admit how they've ruined things for humanity.
Yanis Varoufakis is presented as some genius pundit who knows better than mere mortals. He served as Greek Minister of Finance for some time. Honestly a bum on the streets has more credibility than this man IMHO. A lazy drunkard can be ignorant - but these people are EVIL. I'd rather get lectured by some drunkard than these elites who ran the world to ground!
You can find these gems on streets. You won't find them among these elite circles that spend the day telling us how much we should submit and every good thing on Earth is either random or privileged.
It was so good to talk to you @dwinblood I've been a fan of you for so long 😃
Hope you have the best in life ☘️💪
Have a !PIZZA
Keep on spreading information. That is all some of us can do. Try to get other people to start thinking for themselves and enjoying the act of thinking.
Definitely! I've learned so many stuff because other people took their time & effort to share what they knew about the world. !PIZZA
Also Ayn Rand was a smart woman. I don't agree with her on everything but for the vast majority I do. On the other hand the places I disagree with her on (don't recall what they were now) were personal life choices and nothing to do with governance, etc. I believe she should have the right to do those things they just were not my preference. This means in anything of significance I think I agree with her 100%.
Great mind. She also lived through some of it before coming to the U.S. so she knew what she was talking about. It wasn't hypothetical for her.
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I didn't even look much into her personal life. I didn't feel it was too important. My disagreements come from more spiritual things. But that's fine. I can always listen to Jiddu Krishnamurti
