Well put. No, not every opinion or perspective is worth entertaining or giving air time. Stupidity and insanity simply need to be resisted. Or else it takes a life of its own. Let's be honest- the stupidity and insanity is getting really out of hand these days.https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1260177965721231360 …

I get the sentiment. I just don’t buy it. But there’s a reason: I was actively suppressed on HN for my words, and it took two years to get back into good standing. You know me, a bit. Do I seem like someone worth excluding? Until it happens to you, it’s hard to understand.
What I'd really like to see isn't banning so much but rather a bigger voice/presence for reason that counteracts these narratives. I really do feel like it's a matter of whose propaganda is better, and so far it's the PizzaGate people that are clearly winning that.

Definitely! Using words to change minds is the right way to do it. I was solely objecting to the “giving air time” portion of the tweet, since “giving” implies it should be taken away. The plandemic video may be atrocious, but it was worrisome YouTube suppressed it.

It's pretty unusual circumstances. It does go back to your "does it harm others" criteria, with this Covid19 crap going on.
