Four very powerful billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen—are creating a world where “nothing is true and all is spectacle.” If we are to inquire how we got to a place of radical income inequality, post-truth reality, and the looming potential for a second American Civil War, we need look no further than these four—“the biggest wallets,” to paraphrase historian Timothy Snyder, “paying for the most blinding lights.”

Unless I am mistaken, comment #2 above is aimed at discouraging posters who seek to prevent the development of a marketplace of ideas.

Thank-you!

Why don’t you just put that in your Tagline ?

Yur welcome.

I am surprised that people don't see the logic of that. Very curious.

That said, on the UFO threads, there is a strong urge by some to prevent ANY honest discussion of the topic. When they are prevented from derailing the discussions, they get angry. Some still post on the threads but their comments are loaded with negative bias and disjointed logic and, if you look between the lines of their comments, you see that they are loaded to the gills with ad hominem attacks against those people who are commenting honestly on the subject.

Who wrote this, AOC? Kamala Harris? Pochahontas?

Makes no sense, but then no one can reason with those who can't see reason.
