I’m not waiting around for this fascist administration to put more of their spin out there uncontested. There is no moral victory in being right if everyone else has already been deceived into accepting a false narrative. You’re welcome to dither about whether your spin might be wrong, but this administration is not bad because they are misinforming people, they are bad because they are actively pushing narratives to justify hurting people… and also going out and hurting people.
If counter-spin is needed to prevent their narrative from dominating popular perception, then that counter-spin is the moral act, not silence. Letting Trump use this to cart off another million innocent immigrants, or ban some more non-MAGA political groups, while you wait to find out whether this incredibly suspicious event is in fact what Trump is claiming it is, does not make you some valorous truth-seeker.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because maybe the Communists DID burn the Reichstag and I didn’t want to incorrectly dispute that!
No thanks.
