RE: Do You Really Know What You Think You Know?

People with mainstream opinions don't do this ever.

The bandwagon is comfortable, I suppose.

I'm sure everyone is already familiar with the likes of Brooklyn Dad Defiant and Politics Girl, but I would also add Wales Nematollahi, Scott Heil, and Bill Astore...

I'm not. But I have started to tune out a lot of propagandist blowhards. I only have so much time and attention to spare.

Sort:  

The first two names I mentioned are fairly prolific, you're lucky to not have run into them when you were still on Twitter. The other three have much smaller platforms, but I have personally interacted with them; Colonel Shit Heel is the guy who got me banned from LinkedIn after I (and several others) called him out for promoting censorship and throwing a temper-tantrum in response to his detractors. I agree, they are not worth engaging with, propagandists are best debunked from a distance.

I was never very active on Twitter even when I had an account I could log into. Aside from following a few personalities I found entertaining, like Michael Malice, I always found the whole ephemeral experience of tweets off-putting.
