    Interesting read, is KB an echo chamber for conspiracy theorists? and are we providing the walls to facilitate such echos simply by showing them how wrong they are?

    Misinformations been round for fucking ages, half the shit you believe is based off of it; Govts love spreading it & people love listening to it. The only thing to change is the "power houses of bullshit" now have more competition due to teh interwebs, anyone with a loud enough voice can now spread misinformation & half the time the propaganda machine will run with it too making the spread "viral"

    And even more threatening threat deterrents to accompany the demonizing strategy. They're a step ahead of the game all the time. Watch and weep.

    What I don't get, is why the people who think all this tech is evil and is being monitored, blah blah blah, think posting online about it is a good idea. Surely your continued posting about this stuff is proof positive the monitoring and censoring is not a thing

    Let's face it, by the time computer programs are sophisticated enough to suffer through all that is online, and all that is monitored, and all that is. They'll be sophisticated and mature enough to prevent any who would use this information for nefarious means.

    Nothing secret or new about that, dude.

    My grandmother would point out people on the street who's eyes were too close together all the time.

    Just the tip, when somebody responds to your post with critical thinking and logic, it's not a good look to try and bully them into accepting your ways with insults like that, or like the sheeple one, or like the other beige insults so often thrown about.

    Especially considering the point you seem to be trying to make; is to question motives, to think critically instead of swallowing a story whole, to become aware of the full story, not somebody else's full (of shit) story. Perhaps your real message is you want people to be your sheeple, to swallow your stories whole rather than make their own evaluations on the 'content' you post.

    They are just questions, yes possibly badly worded, but I actually find you quite entertaining, but for future reference would you rather that all posters in your threads just agreed with you and didn't ask questions?

    To be fair, he might have meant your questions were always of excellent quality; so in truth they perhaps haven't gotten better over time.

    So it may just be a reluctant acquiescence to the inescapable logic and critical thinking found within a simple question, which should give anyone cause to doubt the notion that such worldly beneficial technology could be stifled.
