RE: Why i left informationwar

in #blog7 years ago

I do appreciate your personal and unique view of the ongoing informationwar, and that your perspective is as limited as all of ours. I will miss your insight and comments on my own contributions to #informationwar, as I have been glad to learn of your perspective.

I am certain that @ausbitbank, as are we all, is seeking to better understand and convey that understanding of current events and players, and no less than any of us, has limits and flaws in his perspective. While I can't agree with every perspective, I am able to appreciate them, as I still do yours and @ausbitbank's.

What I will say is that there is undeniable evidence of Zionist players and impact on the world today, and simply categorizing mention of Zionism as hate speech, if that's what you do, is no less erroneous as rank racism or any other hate speech.

I recognize that we all are susceptible to misinformation, and seek to peer through my own incomprehension and also to cut folks slack when I see they are misinformed. Further, even though I vehemently disagree with folks on given matters, if I see that they are sincerely seeking to be factual I tend to support their quest while also seeking to discuss matters of disagreement reasonably.

Simply labeling sincere but misinformed people as shills not only isn't productive, it's the mechanism that creates echo chambers, and this directly impedes reforming one's own grasp as necessary when new information challenges it. I won't do it, and suspect you are, to your detriment. I do hope you're not, yet, that if you are, you do manage to transcend that harm you do your own understanding.

Informationwar is not destructive, and I have seen no sign that @ausbitbank undertakes hate speech. I believe you have mischaracterized him, informationwar, and that you do so out of misunderstanding.

OTOH, I see you are taking a stand on principle, which I reckon is admirable, and know I am incompetent to tell you how to run your life, so will leave it at that.

Be well.
