“It’s not my fault for spreading misinformation, hysteria, and making overt moves to oppress others. It’s your fault for not stopping me.”

Validating and correcting information takes time, research, and evidence. Spewing garbage only requires a mouth and optional amplification.

Bullshit is impossible to stop this way because it travels faster than the corrections. By the time the crap is addressed, there are people who will still believe it in the face of evidence and in defiance of reality, and in the meantime, six more pieces of bullshit to debunk have popped up.

    Worst of all, the people that need to hear the debunking live in a right-wing media universe where they'll never hear an honest take on it, or never hear about it at all.
