You’re acting like I’m not talking about QAnon or MAGA types for some reason. Why?
I’m not saying to dismiss anyone just because you politically disagree with them. I’m saying don’t trust a Nazi when he gives his opinion on Jews.
I’m not saying only one side lies. I’m saying there’s a political contingent that only operates on lies, and this guy is with them.
Stop trying to reduce the situation to talk about someone else. This is a QAnon type author writing falsities based on falsely interpreted data, not Noam Chomsky waffling on if something is a crime or not.
Why are you trying to make far right seem better than they really are? Why are you igoring exactly the kind of person I’m referring to in order to dilute the situation and suggest “But pretend like they just have some different ideas” as if they’re not the same kinds of people calling LGBT people child predators now.
This isn’t me advocating dismissing anyone you merely politically disagree with. This is me saying don’t trust a Nazi when he talks about Jews.
It’s not a theory or an idea that most of their arguments are based in lies. That’s par for the course. Their entire MO is denying truth and fact, something which doesn’t exist in even the moderate right wing.
It is a lie to suggest that anyone else lies as much and as inherently as the far right in recent years.
The only thing disingenuous here is your “both sides” bullshit when you’re suggesting a QAnon type should be given the same amount of credence as anyone else.
(like what do orgs do with the money, how effective are they, are they actually aligned with certain values, who is involved in these orgs, etc)
These are all issues of the organizations own reporting, not anything Mozilla did. Mozilla is not responsible for disclosing the operational details of places it donates to or works with.
The laws and regulations surrounding NPOs, charities, and foundations and what they report are a whole other rabbit hole.
The people who tout justifications like this have clearly not paid enough attention in school to learn about things like secondary sources, misrepresenting data, or false extrapolations.
Or they’ve somehow forgotten all about how the far right has been falsely portraying information for years now, and using a kernel of truth to say “See? Therefore everything else I’m saying is also true!” so that the gullible will believe their lies.
Despite spouting a… unique worldview, they are not the one “arguing” with anyone. They have only explained themselves and apologized for taking too much attention. I disagree entirely with their point of view but the idea that they’re picking fights?
No, that’s you. You’re turning this into a fistfight for no reason with this wildly accusatory attitude.
