As if the majority position is not often wrong, or that peer pressure and mob mentality won’t take the reins.

Is that not what literally happens and is happening right now?

Or that a bot network won’t just rule over it.

That’s also already happening right now. I’m not saying this article contains The Solution™. My entire original point was that capitalism is feeding disinformation en masse through every available channel to brainwash the masses into believing capitalism is the one and only system that won’t lead to disaster and that it the world would fall into ruin without it. How do you stop capitalism without breaking through the disinformation?

The best option we have is free speech, uncensored, with trusted institutions critically verifying positions.

Holy tap dancing Christ. That’s literally, literally what is being called for. The hope is to organize so that the criticism ends up being more than some scientist being talked over by a corporate thinktank employee on some “news” debate show.
