Slogans are for people who need to be told what to think.
Well, isn't this funny?
However, it is also remarkably sad. For several reasons.
Foremost, we had so many opportunities to learn from past mistakes that censorship does not work, or better said, the downsides of censorship are always greater than its potential "upsides". Despite whether you call it censorship or "fact-checking".
In simple terms, a shit in different packaging is still - the shit. Please, excuse my language.
And so-called "fact-checking" has been a re-packaged censorship from day one. Now, it is finally affecting those who - by their own acknowledgment - agree a degree of fact-checking may be required. However, they finally recognized what people warned from day one; a problem with who decides what is a valid context or a valid fact or a valid opinion.

The mainstream media is doubling down on the alarmism, and it is not hard to guess why. However, to be fair, consider my little observation an educated guess, an opinion, rather than the fact. Time will show whether I am right.
(1) 'Climate change affects everyone': Europe battles wildfires in intense heat by Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/spain-portugal-battle-wildfires-heatwaves-scorch-southern-europe-2022-07-17/)
If you spent time in Southern Europe, Mediterranean, during summer season - July and August in particular - you probably know that heat-induced wildfires are nothing new. In fact, they are quite common and remarkably devastating for the affected communities, and I have witnessed several in person. Most of the time, the wildfires occur due to heat igniting grasses, especially in the areas where there are broken glass or broken bottles. The glass serves as an amplifier for the sun rays, especially, in the vicinity of dry grasses, or even dry pine needles, and as ...
