This is Iraq War style propaganda: They make the face of a well-researched, (near) academic consensus, that isn't egregiously controversial among experts on the subject... and make the face of it a famous but uncredentialed young woman so they can pretend it's vacuous and naive.

shot a man in reno just to increase the murder rate for the reno metro area as part of a longterm plan to humiliate the newly elected sheriff who was my boyhood companion until our paths were crossed by a flamehaired girl who laughed like the dawn and how we sparred for her favor until the ague came

if text-based social media dies, honestly i'm done. i'll stare at the wall more often if i have to. i have no interest in being a ~content creator~ or making short-form videos.
