Going forward one will have to form his opinion from a wide variety of sources to the best of his ability, from twitch streams to mass media. There are no authorities anymore.Bi_3 wrote:that’s true, but look at the alternative. Horrible violence and looting in Minneapolis last night and Chicago last week or the week before, both based on false information promoted on social media. We here can’t fix that, but we can at least be the change we want to see in the world and not rely on 30 seconds of vertical video to be the arbiter of what we believe.BurtReynolds wrote:Given the political climate, I doubt either side trusts the "authorities" to be objective and nonpartisan.Bi_3 wrote:If we reserved judgement until the preliminary investigation is complete, maybe someone could answer that.
But I doubt the vast majority of the rabble is capable of sifting through the sea of info, though.
In the end this will come down to power.
