Why People Continue to Post Disinfo

Despite all your efforts, your "Gentle Suggestions" that - perhaps - they might want to check their 'facts' before posting, and the reality that 'those people' - those poor, deluded, simple people who have clearly come under the sway of Trump and all those other Nazis (it's really a pity how other people - perhaps not as smart as you - fall for the propaganda and misinformation).

But you persevere. You ask them to cite their sources. Of course, THEIR sources, even if official government sources, cannot be accepted. You return the posting of those links with a dismissive wave, refusing to actually LOOK at them. If they aren't one of the Big Media pundits, they simply Do Not Count.

I've tried to find sources that the Left will accept - Washington Post? New York Times? Science periodicals? Wall Street Journal? Local, generally respected  newspapers?

ALL have been rejected.

I mean, even the freakin' New York Times has admitted that the whole story of Russian interference in the 2020 election was completely made up. BTW, the link is to Legal Insurrection, a blog written by some law professors. The NYT article admitting that the Biden laptop was not 'hacked' and is authentic, is behind a paywall. Because of that, many of the skeptics will roll their eyes and refuse to accept that, yes, the NYT DID admit their shoddy, and partisan, reporting.

But, the I'm-Smarter-and-less-inclined-to-believe-in-propaganda-than-you crowd depends on the FB Official Boxed Leftist-Message-Supporting Blockage of Dissent to sooth their nerves. God Forbid that they have to actually investigate the official stories! So much easier to pass along the smarmy memes from the DNC, Hillary-Clinton-Diehards, and Progressives-4Eva Meme Machines.

Here was the original graphic that prompted this:

Now, am I suggesting that EVERY one of the invaders is a fake? No. But, a sizable percentage of them are. And, the fact that they arrive, not bedraggled, toting food and blankets, extra clothes, and other items that would be reasonable for travelers, but daisy fresh and sporting fresh-from-the-box shirts with Progressive slogans - well, it just doesn't seem to be an organice occurrence.

Heck, when I have to get a family trip together, I'm a lot less organized. My kids are drooping, I'm walking like I can't take another step, and I am surrounded by the detritus of my journey.

I also don't CONVENIENTLY arrive sans ID, passport, or proof that I am who I claim to be. The word has apparently passed - ditch all ID, and the dummies at the US border will HAVE to admit you. If they question you, act indignant and accuse them of discrimination against People of Color!

So, what is the defining response to my post?

With the comment "My job is done".

Well, no, it's not. All you have 'proven' is that the Scolds on FB will reject any opposition to their Way of Life.

That's not a real response.

So, why do I continue to post?

Because some of the memes are just funny. They point out that the Left's Official Message is illogical, not based on evidence, and likely with an underlying agenda.

Some of them allow me to express my frustration with the Officially Acceptable State of the Union. That the concerns of Americans are brushed off as Racism, Homophobia, Propaganda, Fascism, Sexism, ad infinitum. For people who complain that their ideological enemies engage in mindless regurgitation of pre-digested mis-info, they sure do seem to have the market on that cornered.

Some are pithy reminders that, no, all do NOT accept the characterization of aggressive recruitment of minors into the "I'm REALLY a Girl!" Magical Transformation Cult. The people who are at risk are KIDS. They are being encouraged to take life-altering steps before society permits them to:

• Pierce their ears or get a permanent tatoo
• Take responsibility for their actions as an adult
• Drive
• Vote

The same people who don't think kids that age should be responsible for raising a kid, have no issue with medically tampering with the genotalia that make the process possible.

If kids are "transitioned" too early, they may lose any capability of having adult sex - their genitals will be too small and malformed to allow them to fully participate in sexual activity.

They will be sterilized.

They will be short (I'm short, and it's no picnic. Aside from the inconvenience of needing stepstools, diminuitive people are at high risk of bone fractures, osteoporosis, and other problems). For those female and planning to "become" men, the societal prejudice against short people is high. No amount of hormonal additions will change their stature.

This will all come at a high medical and emotional cost.
