Reply to comment by sudo in Should conspiracy theory culture be shunned or used to our advantage? by ziq
Fair point. I'm not sure in an online forum it's worth leaving that stuff up. It seems the kind of thing that would be hard to get some one out of if you aren't close with the person.

Conspiracy theory culture is at its core rooted in being skeptical but not critical. Skepticism is an important part of leftist thinking since you need it to question the existing paradigm, so that part is useful, but without critical thinking folks like this will believe anything.
I suppose what I'm getting at is we shouldn't remove it (unless they're posting reactionary views), but we shouldn't encourage it either. Encourage them to critically analyze where they're getting their info from instead.

This has really made me question if the city council is worth our time. A lot of people's time went into this, and to see it just get thrown out so easily is disheartening. It sucks because I don't think there are other organizations currently in existence that could build the housing necessary.
