      I tried looking it up

      It’s just talking points to counter this claim.

      I think “just looking it up” in this era of deliberate miseducation is easier said than done

          It’s crazy how accessible information once was. I could find years old comments Iade on forums wby typing out a portion of what I wrote and the website name. Obscure videos with 12 views would come up if properly named. Souch of the internet is lost behind shitty indexing and I don’t believe for a second that SEO and AI alone are responsible for it

            It sucks so bad. I wasn’t trying to a dick like “Oh just look it up,” back when I looked into it it was very easy to find that information

            We so quickly went from a world where so much information was easily available to one where it takes special skills and a lot of work to be able to sift through and actually find what you’re looking for.

        Agree. It’s very hard to find evidence online, and when you do you just know that it isn’t going to hold water with liberals who will discount any source that isn’t Wikipedia.
