Let us not forget the Karen vote....
what? link please?Hence the sudden UK law enforcement to make all such discussion illegal on all official, mainstream social media platforms.
I'm sorry I can't really think exactly where or how to fish out an official, creditable link for you on that in my current condition.what? link please?

I didn't say it was hard. But I just don't feel compelled to dig out and show you all such proof. I was only stating a fact. Anybody is free to do their own digging if they wish.Uhh, generally all laws are available online. It's not hard to prove something is law.
Conclude as you will. All UK based broadcasters are now strictly adhering to this law/guideline currently, on mainstream channels. Those who do not, are immediately removed.it's impossible to have a meaningful discussion if you claim what you are posting is a fact but are unable or unwilling to substantiate it with a simple link.
i did a search and can't find anything to suggest that this is a fact.
so the only conclusion i can come to reasonably, for now, is that your claim is false.

My concern is not convincing you. Clear as day, we can debate these matters until the cows come home and the fat lady sings. I'm not good at doing homework and fishing out links, especially when so sick.
And especially moreso when it is clearly a lost cause.
is it a law or is it a guideline? you said such discussion was illegal which would make it a law, wouldn't it?this law/guideline
i am sorry you're sick and i hope, whatever ails you, that you have access to the treatment and support you need to get through it. if i remember correctly, you are in the u.k.? if so, thanks goodness you live in a country with socialised medicine.I'm not good at doing homework and fishing out links, especially when so sick.
which lost cause? i'm 100% open to be persuaded by facts. give me a link to the law to which you are referring and your argument is won. that simple.And especially moreso when it is clearly a lost cause.
It is very well known across the social media platforms.
I will try and get back to you on that. I'm not saying your points arr not valid and fair, and I said all along you can all justifiably tear me to pieces.is it a law or is it a guideline? you said such discussion was illegal which would make it a law, wouldn't it?
i am sorry you're sick and i hope, whatever ails you, that you have access to the treatment and support you need to get through it. if i remember correctly, you are in the u.k.? if so, thanks goodness you live in a country with socialised medicine.
that said, you seem well enough to make all these claims in the first place so perhaps you'd forgive me for being a little cynical of your inability to support them with a post or two of proof?

i can only speak for myself but if and when i am challenged to substantiate a claim i've made here, i have to respect that. it's an invite, from somebody who likely doesn't believe me, to demonstrate the veracity of my claim. it's hard to imagine* why anybody wouldn't jump at that chance...

Exactly! None of us truly know. I don't disagree with that. I wish we did,,and hope to see a world where the real ultimate truth, whatever that may be,,is properly ironed out from the cracks and revealed to the world at large.This perfectly encapsulates the profoundly negative impact social media is having on our world. Disinformation is incredibly easily disseminated through social media, and then because social media sites create an echo chamber where they show you stuff that you've shown you're already interested in, it makes the disinformation appear to be well-known to everyone and something everyone believes, which reinforces that it is a self-evident truth, when in fact to someone else, their own social media experience tells them the exact opposite.
This is why, right now, more than ever before, it is crucial that everyone does their own fact checking. otherwise you are choosing to believe things based on what you want to believe. Just understand how easy it is to create false information on social media that superficially appears real, and disseminate it to networks of people hungering to believe "information".
A great example that you will agree is false is the meme that circulated with a photo of Trump and a quote supposedly from him in the 90s or whatever, saying that if he ever ran for president, he would choose Republican because the people are easier to fool (paraphrased). A whole ton of people believed it, on my facebook feed, it was being reposted by all my friends and family. In conversations, it was being stated as fact. Someone turned me on to the fact that it was just manufactured meme, the quote is entirely made up, he never said that. That instance was actually pretty pivotal for me in getting me off of social media (realizing how toxic it is in the spread of disinformation), and in realizing how the side I more associate with is spreading disinformation just like the other side. You really and truly can't believe anything you hear in the media or the Internet, especially from Youtube and social media influencers, without doing your own fact checking. if you refuse to fact check, then you are probably being led around by a leash and being made to swallow someone's agenda.
Of course this occurred to me as an understandable perception. Maybe there is a phenomenon whereby very sick and fatigued people can still communicate well and strongly, while being less adept and resourceful in other capacities.that said, you seem well enough to make all these claims in the first place so perhaps you'd forgive me for being a little cynical of your inability to support them with a post or two of proof?

Like I said before, we are on the same side here in that respect. We care about our friends, family, and the world, and only want to see a better one for all.You and me both, man.
Yes, we need to stay together and try our best to accept and support each other regardless of our views and differences.I think it's important to treat each other with respect, always, but especially these days, when political discourse has turned so toxic that it's becoming bitter hatred and totally disrespectful. The biggest threat facing us, I believe, is the growing resentment and hatred of the two sides they've created.
